摘要: Increasing enrollment in post-secondary institutions across North America, along with an increase popularity of and demand for distance education is pressuring to offer a greater number variety courses online. A fully online laboratory course microscopic anatomy (histology) which can be taught simultaneously face-to-face (F2F) version the same has been developed. This full year was offered Fall/Winter (FW) terms both F2F formats. To ensure that quality as format, performance indicators were evaluated. The course, exclusively during summer compressed time frame, also Senior undergraduate students self-selected they would enroll in. Course assessment outcomes compared while incoming grades used predictor performance. There no significant differences between FW Online courses; similarly, there these Summer students. However, among any formats offered. Incoming strong, predictors These results indicate effective format delivering histology content, therefore giving options selections.
