Comparison of an Onlne Astronomy Course and a Face-to-face Astronomy Course

POSTER

Abstract

This project compares the success of an online astronomy course based on the free, online OpenStax textbook produced at Stockton University and a face-to-face version of the same course. The success of the course is examined using a 100-question pretest and posttest. A survey was also completed of the students to evaluate the perceived success of the online course and the acceptance of online courses.
