Abstract:
|
Materials previously developed and tested for an undergraduate biostatistics course include: videos of graphing and analysis techniques with instructor voiceover, an online interactive textbook, PowerPoint slides, supplementary notes, interpretation centered assignments and summative final project. Using the same materials and instructor, the course is taught face-to-face (f2f), entirely online and hybrid (online/f2f). We will present materials and statistical comparisons of student performance in the three formats. Early analysis indicates significant differences in student performance between f2f and online, with online students tending to be more likely to know which analysis to do and less likely to know how to do and interpret the analysis. Consequently, we suspect that the ongoing hybrid course will result in the best overall outcomes.
