Abstract
This study was conducted at a community college in the southeastern U.S. The total sample was 83 students, 16 males and 67 females, with 47 of these students enrolled in a computer lab setting where an e-learning platform was a part of the instructional technique and 36 students enrolled in a traditional classroom setting. Participants came from 8 sections, 4 computer lab and 4 traditional, of developmental mathematics classes in the study. All groups had access to the e-learning platform outside of class. An independent-samples t test was performed to determine any significant differences between mathematical gain scores in the experimental groups and the control groups who completed Elementary Algebra, a developmental course. At the .05 level of significance, the results were significant, t (81) = 2.146, p = .035. An independent-samples t test was performed to analyze the impact of total minutes spent on task on MyMathLab, an e-learning platform, on achievement. At the .05 level of significance, the test was not significant, t (75) = -1.149, p = .254.
