The Robot Will Teach You Now, by Paddington

Saturday, November 19, 2022 3:43

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

In about 2015, our department was being pressured to offer online courses. When I read around the subject, it turned out that the results of such courses in Mathematics were much worse, in terms of total pass rates and retained material, than live ones. I was told by a resident ‘expert’ that this was simply wrong. When we did offer such a course, the drop-out and failure rates were much higher than the live sections of the course, even when offered by the same faculty.

Fast forward to 2020, at the start of the pandemic, when one episode of the ‘Freakonomics’ podcast explored how universities would adapt to online learning. A resident ‘expert’ at the University of Arizona expounded that the bugs had all been worked out to offer comparable courses, especially in Mathematics.

The events of the past two years and decline in student achievement seem to indicate otherwise.
