As colleges evolve from face-to-face (F2F) course delivery to online, questions remain as to the equivalency of these methods. A study was conducted comparing learning on technical and didactic skills and role modeling between online and F2F sections of “Introduction to Computer Information Systems for Business†taught by the same professor at a state university in the Northeast United States (US). Grades on select assignments and exam questions that fell in the categories of intending to teach technical skills, didactic skills, and role modeling were evaluated and compared between the two course formats. In addition, at the end of the course, an anonymous survey was conducted among students who self-reported their acquisition level of technical skills, didactic skills, and role modeling. Over the Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 terms, data were collected from two F2F and three online courses. Overall, grades from 106 students (42% F2F and 58% online) and surveys from 82 students (40% F2F, 60% online) were available for analysis. It was found that overall, technical and didactic skills acquisition was similar between the F2F and online classes, but role modeling learning was greatly increased in the F2F course. Recommendations of how to improve role modeling learning in online course delivery will be presented.
