Virtually the Same: Using Bayesian Methods to Investigate the Relationships between Online Course Delivery and Postsecondary Student Enrollment, Course Outcomes, and Degree Attainment
Skinner, Benjamin Thomas
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Vanderbilt University
In this dissertation I investigate postsecondary online education with three research questions: 1. What is the connection between broadband access and the number of students who attempt online coursework? 2. What is the effect of online course delivery on course persistence and, conditional on completion, the likelihood of passing the course? 3. How do degree attainment rates differ between students who take online courses and those who take only face-to-face courses within and across states?
