Data Summary
The
information this data provides allows us to observe a pattern:
1- Both enrollment and retention levels have increased from one semester
to the next.
2- Successful completion of the course is also increasing.
3- Summer online classes seem to attract more enrollees.
4- Data from table 2 suggests that students prefer online courses to
traditional ones and success rate is much higher in these online
courses.
5- Data collected from WebCT course-sites shows that students do more
reading and writing than it is possible in a traditional environment.
