Online Lectures and Quizzes Do Not Selectively Disadvantage a Particular Demographic

Online courses generate questions about whether particular groups are disadvantaged by online versus in-person instruction. 138 undergraduates watched a recorded lecture and took a quiz online. While non-native English speakers scored lower, t(135)=2.42,p=.02, there were no differences based on demographics including SES, race, gender, year-in-school, parent education, or SAT/ACT scores.
