Comparative study:
Participants and evaluation instruments applied:
Instruments: a survey was used to compare students enrolled in a traditional in-class section, and another group in a “blended-learning” section in which the primary course delivery method was online, but in which students met in class on a limited number of occasions.
Comparative
Non - comparative
Comparative study:
The results suggest that the two delivery methods were similar in terms of final learning outcomes, but that both may be improved by incorporating aspects of the other.
Result:
Comparative
Non - comparative
Make meaningful comparisons between two delivery methods.
Advantages of the two evaluation strategies
Comparative study:
Comparative
Non - comparative
1. The survey was administrated only on one school and involved one MBA course in accounting.
2. Inferences cannot necessarily be made about other courses, institutions and instructors
Disadvantages of the two evaluation strategies
