Abstract

We report results from an analysis that assesses the effectiveness of teaching political science courses online. We look at three questions: How can the Internet effectively enhance student learning? What are the effects of online teaching on gender equality in political science classrooms? And how does participation in online discussion affect student learning? We find that active learning is possible online, that women benefit from online learning, and students overall do better when they read postings in online discussions.
