abstract

  • © 2019 IEEE.This paper compares academic achievement, engagement and student satisfaction between courses in online synchronous (LD) and face to face (F2F) methods with the objective of determining the best way to deliver content. The course was delivered to the students using the same content structure and activities. Academic achievement was measured through exams, study cases, evaluation rubrics, evidence portfolio, and a final exam. The engagement was measured considering the number of absences, assignments not delivered and the number of drop out students. Motivation was measured by applying a survey measuring connection with the teacher and an understanding of the course. Satisfaction was measured with a survey designed, validated and applied to the students in both groups. The study sample was integrated by two groups on the subject Material Balance.
