Online Engineering Education Using Blackboard Collaborate David C. Paulus, PhD, PE and Daniel M. Settlage, PhD University of Arkansas - Fort Smith, Fort Smith, ARAbstractOn average, students in online learning conditions perform modestly better than those receivingface-to-face instruction. Blackboard Collaborate was used for live online lectures for mechanicalengineering students that enrolled in a face-to-face machine analysis course. At the end of theclass, the students were given a survey to assess their attitudes and opinions about usingCollaborate. All the students found it easy to use and access; however, the top students generallyreport a greater level of satisfaction with using
