Abstract
The purpose of this study was to estimate the effects of online distance education on African American college students’ perceived learning in science courses. Results revealed that students taking traditional science courses self-reported greater affective and psychomotor learning gains than did students taking online distance education science courses. This study was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation (HRD-0811728 and HRD-1332555).
