Abstract

For decades, scholars have debated which mode of education is superior. Some argue that online is superior and others argue that online is less effective than traditional face-to-face courses. Still others suggest that the hybrid mode (e.g., online blended with face-to-face lectures) is the most desired and productive content delivery method for students. However, students¡¯ perceptions towards online learning as compared to traditional face-to-face learning have largely been overlooked. This paper intends to fill this void in the literature and explore minority students¡¯ perceptions towards online learning versus traditional face-to-face modes of education in higher education.
