UNV-503: Introduction to Graduate Studies in Liberal Arts




The objective of the study conducted by Nagel, Blignaut, and Cronje was to display the

success of online students versus those attending college traditionally in person. Some of the key

items they mentioned that correlated to success in the class was the student’s participation,

number of times logged into the course, and contribution to discussions. The main questions

presented in the study were “How did online participation relate to learning and successful

course completion?” and “How did participation influence the learning community?” (p.38).


Participation was tracked using learning management system (LMS). This revealed when

students were logging in and not participating as well as those who did not log in at all. (Cronje

et al.,2009). Cronje, Blignaut and Nagel (2009) also mentioned multiple types of participants

such as legitimate nonparticipation, inadvertent nonparticipation, and facilitator participation.


Some complications with the study were the differences in ages of participants and

student visibility. It was stated by Nagel, Blignaut and Cronje that the cohort of participants

ranged from a Baby Boomers to Generation X. Lasty, another obstacle mentioned was the

student’s visibility. This visibility was in reference to the participants lack availability or access

to the internet as well as lacking familiarity with the technology due to their culture or

environment (Cronje et al,2009).
