Direct Quote:
“The research was a head-to-head experiment, comparing the grades achieved in the same
introductory economics class by students — one group online, and one in classroom lectures.
The 312 students were undergraduates at a major state university (unnamed, at the university’s
request). The research was funded by the National Science Foundation and the Education
Department.
Certain groups did notably worse online. Hispanic students online fell nearly a full grade lower
than Hispanic students that took the course in class. Male students did about a half-grade worse
online, as did low-achievers, which had college grade-point averages below the mean for the
university.”
Paraphrase:
New York Times conducted a research project where 312 students participated in and the online
students did worse than the classroom students who attended the classes; Hispanic and male
students were affected the most in the study.
