Multiple Modes for Course Success

When the pandemic disrupted traditional face-to-face classrooms, faculty at the C. T. Bauer College of Business improvised on the spot, adding new modes of learning to reach students in multiple ways as classes transitioned online. Because research exploring the effectiveness of online instruction is limited, Associate Professor Janet Meade and Assistant Professor Kiran Parthasarathy decided to investigate what worked best for the more than 1,000 students taking a managerial accounting course during the spring semester in 2020.

The C. T. Bauer College of Business is an AACSB Accredited Business School.
