Abstract:
Student satisfaction with, and performance in, an online agri-sales course is compared with that of students enrolled in a simultaneously-taught classroom course. Online and classroom students were equally satisfied with the course and the instructor using most measures, but had different motives for course enrollment. Overall student performance did not differ. However, online students tended to do better on exams and homework assignments while classroom students demonstrated a greater ability to apply course concepts to a practical setting. Results suggest instructors should be wellprepared to handle unique learner situations prior to marketing an online course and provide appropriate incentives such that students are motivated to complete online course components.
