Short Description

This study investigates characteristics of on-campus students who take online course sections in comparison to their f2f and fully online counterparts. The authors examine a robust student data set spanning AY2015 from a large research institution to establish a demographic profile of on-campus students who enroll in online courses. Withdrawal rates within online sections are also examined to identify student demographics associated with higher on-campus student withdrawal rates in online courses.
