  • Citation
    • Bettinger, Eric et al. "How Online College Classes Alter Student And Professor Performance". Cesinfo, vol 1, no. 1, 2014, pp. 1-38.
  • Summary 
    • The article talked about a study the authors made at DeVry campus. The purpose of the study was to see what, if any, changes online learning has on the performance of the students. They calculate the average GPA and grade for the students who took a class online and compared the grades to those who took the same class in a more traditional environment.
  • Authors

    • All of the authors are Stanford university graduates or are associate professors at Harvard . They have spent years learning about various education methods, including online and traditional learning. The paper was published under the guidance of Stanford university and was also peer reviewed.

  • Key terms/consept
    • Restrictive access: online classes have limited ways the students and professors can interact with one another or with other students.
    • Online learning environment: the area in which the students are learning in
    • Three Quotes. 
      • "the local average treatment effect on achievement is a 0.2 grade point drop in course grade,approximately a 0.15 standard deviation decline. Put differently, complier students taking thecourse in-person earned a grade of 2.8 on average while their peers in online classes earned agrade of 2.6."(Bettinger, 13)
      • " a 3-7 percentage point drop in the probability of remaining enrolled (or graduating within) one year later. The complier students taking the course in-person had a 70 percent probability of remaining enrolled while their peers in online courses had a 63-67 percent probability."(Bettinger, 13)
      • " we do not find an effect of online teaching on professor performance as measured by student persistence in college. The difference in point estimate s is negative, but not statistically significant." (Bettinger, 16)
    • values
      • The value of the article is the adds is the finding from the study performed. Not only did the study have a large sample size, but it also portrayed the findings of the study in a very easy-to-understand way. I will be using the findings in my paper to show how online learning is noticeably worse for students.

    Research Question and 3 Scholarly Sources

    New Question  As technology has rapidly changed, it is now possible for students to be taught fully online. This new ability could have drastic differences in both the quality of education as well as unintended side effects on students. The question I will be answering is how might online college affect the academic and social life of students from those who had a more traditional in-person college education Research paperwork cited Bettinger, Eric et al.

    The graph helps illustrate the percentages of people in several income brackets. I can use it to show how many students do not have internet or computer access. This will be used to point out how less affluent students tend to a larger disadvantage when it comes to e-learning. Source: https://usafacts.org/articles/internet-access-students-at-home/

    A Possible topic for research paper

    Image
    One possible topic for a research paper would be the differences academically and socially between those who took online classes from those who had a more traditional in-person college education. I'm thinking of choosing this topic because it is very preventive in recent years as more and more students take online college. As COVID-19 stopped students from attending in-person classes, knowing the effects of online-only school would be beneficial as it could a cheaper alternative to more traditional higher education.
