چکیده
This study examines the effects of a technologyintensive course design on students’ final grades in a criminology program at an upperdivision university in the southwest. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analyses indicated that the presence of a technologyintensive curricu lum alone did not significantly improve student performance. However, interaction effects revealed that the technologybased curriculum enhanced student learning for online students compared to those in hybrid and (FTF) courses although students completed fewer technology projects in online sections. These findings reveal barriers to teaching with technology that are not over come through the use of systematic training for instructors and students. The study further reveals that adult and traditional learners do not significantly differ in learning when exposed to a technologyintensive curriculum or mode of course delivery.
