Journal of Interactive Online Learning www.ncolr.org/jiol Volume 10, Number 3, Winter 2011 ISSN: 1541-4914 128 Comparing student success between developmental math courses offered online, blended, and face-to-face. Jean Ashby Community College of Baltimore County William A. Sadera and Scot W. McNary Towson University Abstract Community colleges are increasing their enrollment faster than four-year universities and have also had the highest growth rate in online learning enrollments in higher education. This increase in community college enrollment and specifically in online and developmental courses, leads to a need for research with this population; sadly, very little research focuses on online students in community colleges. The purpose of this paper is to present a research study which compared student success in a Developmental Math course offered in three different learning environments (online, blended, and face-to-face). Using quantitative instruments, data from 167 participants was collected including, demographic information, unit test grades and standardized Intermediate Algebra Competency Exam scores. Results of a one way ANOVA showed that there were significant differences between learning environments with the students in the blended courses having the least success. Additional analysis was done to address issues of attrition since attrition rates are high for community college students and online students. Data analysis with the attrition adjusted sample showed that the face-to-face students performed most poorly. The findings of this study contradict the current research findings of no significant difference in success based on learning environment. Over the past 15 years Institutions of Higher Education (IHE), including both community colleges and four-year schools, have seen continued increases in enrollment. During the 1990s, four-year colleges saw a growth of 9%, while community colleges experienced 14% growth (ACE, 2004). In the decade following...
