How Women Actually Perform in Distance Education

J. Koch

Excerpt

… two studies of students in Indiana–one conducted at Ball State and the other at Indiana State university–found no statistically significant difference between male and female students in their satisfaction with distance-education courses. The studies included more than two dozen courses and more than 400 students… Old Dominion researchers asked 12,000 students in almost 150 distance-learning courses in 25 degree programs about their satisfaction with the courses found no significant differences between men and women… the bottom line is that neither female nor male distance-learning students appear to learn less than students in traditional classes. In fact, the evidence indicates the opposite.
