This paper presents data from a two-semester study of the effects of distance learning on student achievements as well as their perceptions and attitudes towards online education. Students’ course grades and satisfaction survey results from two internet-based instructional groups were compared. The results showed no significant difference in course grades and student satisfaction between the two online groups.
