Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper was to determine whether applying e-learning material to a course leads to consistently improved student performance.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper analyzes grade data from seven instances of the course. The first three instances were performed traditionally. After an intervention, in the form of applying e-learning methodologies, more data were collected from four course instances. These data are then analyzed and compared.

Findings

The main finding of this paper is that the application of e-learning improved the overall grades and decreased the fail rates of students who took this course.

Originality/value
