Understanding and Improving Teaching and Learning in the Online Environment
Dr. Catherine Finnegan from Georgia
Review of four studies – all interesting.
eCore is fully online, all GE courses, humanities, language, social sciences, math, science. They say you can do two years online, but usually supplemental to f2f courses. 25 courses are available, 2,000 students in spring semester. Approx 70% completion rate.
Georgia has a policy: free tuition if GPA is 3.0 or up.
High School GPA plus SAT math scores predicted success w/ 65% accuracy. Financial aid plus internal motivation predicted success w/ 75% accuracy.
They followed student to report on their habits w/ LMS, how much they viewed content, discussion board, created discussions, responded to discussions. 400 students, 13 sections, 3 courses, 3 semesters. Successful students were engaged and online one hour per hour of class.
