E-Classroom Management System: A Model for Resolving Performance Evaluation Controversies of Onsite and Online Systems of Learning

The advances in technology have made online learning more popular in educational institutions across the globe. Consequently, researchers have conducted investigations on the effects of online learning on students’ academic performance using questionnaire as instrument for data collection. These have led to three divergent reports. While some researchers agreed that online learning is as good as onsite learning in terms of students’ academic performance, others are of strong opinion that online learning is better than onsite learning. Still, a third school of thought affirmed that onsite learning is more effective than online learning. Since these studies relied on self-reported data from students and lecturers, who are participants, the contradictory results need to be further investigated using a method devoid of questionnaire as the participants may be biased when filling the questionnaire. It is against this background that an e-Classroom Management System was developed. The system was evaluated alongside onsite learning using College students. The results from the study showed that onsite learning gives a better academic performance than online learning.
