Virtual Classroom versus Physical Classroom: An Exploratory Study of Class Discussion Patterns and Student Learning in an Asynchronous Internet-Based MBA Course
Abstract
As more business schools develop courses and programs for delivery via the Internet, assessing the quality of student learning and reactions to the medium will become increasingly important and necessary. This exploratory study reports the results of comparing a classroom-based and an Internet-basedMBAclass section at a Midwestern U.S. university. The results showed significantly higher discussion participation patterns for the Internet-based course (both by class section and by gender) and no significant differences in learning in either class section. This article concludes by discussing possible reasons for these findings and suggests implications for Internet-based education.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
