Colleges and universities continue to employ various methods of delivering course content. Online courses are becoming an integral part of the curriculum and are likely to increase in number in the future. Regardless of the delivery format, students persisting to the end of the term had comparable scores. In fact, students in the asynchronous course exhibited the most success. Formal student evaluations were positive with comments, relating to the Internet-delivered course, ranging from favorable to frustrating.
Students can learn basic computer skills using various content delivery methods.
