Excerpt:

… the performance of students in a distance course was similar to the performance of students in the on-campus course for an introductory accounting graduate class… the students’ evaluations of the course were similar although students in the online course indicated that they were less satisfied with the instructor availability than the in-class students. In terms of student performance, there did not seem to be a difference between the multiple choice exam format and the complex problem solving exam format.
