4. The Effect of Hybrid Lecture Delivery on Learning Outcomes in an MBA Course

abstract

The consensus of studies of undergraduate principles of economics is that the online format is inferior to the traditional lecture format. However in the handful of studies of principles taught at the MBA level the evidence tilts to the conclusion of no significant difference. This study contributes to the MBA literature by employing a research design that appropriately handles sample selection bias and by using a fixed effects model to correct for bias from unobservable variables. The results are that the effect of the online format on learning outcomes is not significantly different from that of the traditional format. It is reasoned that the outcome differs from that of studies of undergraduates because graduate students are relatively more mature and relatively more adept at learning independently

5. Effect of Social Media Discussion Forums on Learning Outcomes in an Online Course

abstract

In this paper we describe how we used Facebook as a complementary tool to our LMS. We collected data on student usage and surveyed student opinion in several online/blended sections. Our hypothesis is that our empirical analysis will find a positive correlation between student usage of Facebook in the online/blended classroom and student learning outcomes

6. The Effect of Class Attendance and Lecture Notes on Learning Outcomes

abstract

At many large universities it is conventional to deliver undergraduate introductory economics courses in a large lecture hall. However, not surprisingly, casual empiricism suggests that rates of student absenteeism are significantly greater in a large lecture format than in a smaller classroom setting. A compounding factor is that numerous empirical studies have established a significant negative relation between absenteeism and student performance. This study investigates the relation between absenteeism, the use of instructor provided online lecture notes, and student performance. The findings are that on average instructor lecture notes are not a substitute for class attendance. However, for some learning styles they can be a substitute, but for most learning styles they are not

10. Employment, Unemployment and the Minimum Wage : A Causality Model

abstract

Some empirical work tends to confirm the negative impacts of the law on employment, but much of that work leaves the existence and size of the fiat's effects uncertain. We find some evidence that the minimum wage has lowered the employment of white male teenagers (age 16-19) and nonwhite males over the age of 20. However, these impacts are small. No other significant employment impacts are discovered and no significant unemployment impacts are found
