This study compares the effectiveness of using online supplemental material on a companion Blackboard site to
enhance the face-to-face classroom environment in an undergraduate engineering Statics class. A total of two
undergraduate sections of an engineering statics class was studied during the Fall, 2013 semester; these intact classes
were taught by the same professor. The control group received the traditional lecture in the face-to-face classroom. The
experimental group had supplemental video material available for each week. Both groups took the same final exam
and completed survey instruments.
