Web Based Biology 101 Courses

The redesigned version of Biology 101 online was offered in Fall 2014. The main focus is to increase student persistence and thereby increase the student pass rate. The redesigned course attempts to a) increase student engagement with the course material, b) give students more guidance on learning the required material, and c) identify struggling students and offering assistance. I have compared the pass rate of students who took the class online from prior semesters to the percentage of students who passed the course this semester.
