Abstract
This study investigates the effect of asynchronous, on-line interaction on student conceptual understanding of light and color. Two versions (N and Y) of an on-line independent-study module on light and were randomly assigned to students (n=43) enrolled in a physics course for non-science majors. Version Y included Internet message boards to facilitate required peer-peer interaction about the module content. Version N lacked message boards. The Light and Color Concepts Assessment Instrument (LCCAI) was administered to subjects in a pre-post test experimental design. A multivariate ANCOVA was calculated, showing that student achievement varied significantly as a function of the module version studied.
