Establishing Guidelines for Determining Appropriate Courses for Online Delivery
Strickland, Janet Smith; Butler, Judy
Journal of Interactive Online Learning, v4 n2 p129-140 Fall 2005
The purpose of this case study was to determine if one particular course is appropriate for online delivery. Two classes, one offered online and one offered traditionally, of a comparative education course were compared. Results of the study indicate that students' satisfaction with the online course was at least comparable to that of the traditional class. The results also indicate that the online course assignments were appropriate for meeting the course objectives. Guidelines useful for determining appropriate courses for online delivery are discussed.
