Abstract
Interactive televised distance learning (ITDL) employs
television
and audio links between an on-campus site and remote sites for
instructional
purposes. This research compared the final grades received by
on-campus students
and those completing ITDL courses at remote sites. All college-level
ITDL courses
offered by the University of Nevada, Reno’s Continuing Education
Division
from fall 1991 through fall 1997 were analyzed. Independent-samples
t-tests
and a Mann–Whitney U test were used to determine if
significant
differences existed between the two groups of grades. Significant
differences
favoring the remote-site final grades existed for the total grade set
and for
two of the four college-based subsets. (Keywords: distance education,
distance
education versus on-campus education, interactive televised distance
education,
outcomes of distance education.)
