Engagement and Performance for Female and Male Students in an Online Course
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to compare female and male students' progress through an asynchronously delivered Web-based course. Several key questions guided the analysis of each student's progress and performance in the course:
- When will males and females begin and end engagement in the course?
- How long will males and females remain engaged in the course?
- How will the males and females perform in an entirely asynchronously delivered course?
