Abstract
This study aims to investigate whether the course level affects how successful online accounting instruction is compared to traditional in-class instruction. According to a survey, perceptions on several variables were obtained from students enrolled in advanced cost or managerial, advanced financial accounting, and principles courses. The findings imply that the course difficulty level is significant when determining whether it is wise to offer online accounting courses. The delivery method was not significant in principles classes when controlling for other factors. However, in advanced courses, the outcomes assessed were noticeably better in traditional classroom settings compared to online. The findings also show that blended learning, or providing a few on-campus class meets for a primarily online course, maybe advantageous regardless of course. The research results also support the idea that blended learning, offering a few on-campus class meetings for a primarily online course, may be desirable regardless of the course level. However, the course level may be significant when deciding how much face-to-face instruction should be combined with online instruction.
