Abstract
There has been a proliferation of college courses and programs offered via distance education and particularly via the Internet (online). Although there is evidence that distance education using video conferencing or off-campus classes is effective, there is insufficient research addressing the online classes. Much of the existing research has investigated perceptions rather than outcomes. In contrast, this research presents a comparison of performance of candidates in introductory special education classes presented in traditional and online formats. Pretests and posttests of course content and attitudes toward inclusion, and rubric scores from three performance products were used to compare the outcomes in the course. The results support the “no significant difference” phenomenon and the use of distance education as a valid mechanism for delivery of teacher education.
