This study compared the performance of 1790 undergraduates taking either an online or face-to-face version of an introductory climate change course. After controlling for demographic differences, students in the online version scored 2% lower than those in the face-to-face version. This slight performance decrease might be offset by the increased accessibility and scheduling flexibility offered by online learning.
