Aviation Distance Learning: An Initial Case Study of In ten t, Implemen ta tion, and Evaluation

Abstract

The concept of distance learning is not a new concept in education but is somewhat innovative in collegiate aviation programs. The fOllowing study involved an evaluation of the examination performance of 70 students in  three different aviation classes; one class met in a traditional classroom and  two in a distance learning setting. A statistical comparison of the  examination  scores of all these students found no significant difference and in several cases, slightly elevated test scores by the distance learning students.
