Two hundred and thirty-one Dutch students attended 6-week online seminars on Business Statistics. One hundred and nineteen students were in an experimental group, and 112 in a control group. Students in the experimental group watched short instructional videos and studied online quizzes at their own pace. In the control group, students followed teachers’ instructions throughout the seminars. It was found students watching short videos significantly outperformed those following teachers’ virtual instruction. Short videos were especially useful for those who were good at math. The research sheds light on the design of hybrid learning, particularly for business statistics education at the university level. HIGHLIGHTS A quasi-experimental research to examine the effects of short instructional videos on students’ statistics learning performance vs. the virtual lectures with teachers. Evidence of the benefits of short videos in statistics education for students who are good at math. Practical experiences sharing for designers of instructional videos. Recommendations for creating short instructional videos in higher education.","PeriodicalId":47318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Business","volume":"98 1","pages":"175 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44295984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although online education seemingly mitigates geographical location as a barrier to attracting students, the location may still play a role in establishing students’ familiarity with schools and with creating competition among neighboring institutions. Using archival data, we find that schools in larger populations see more applications and more entrants to their online MBA programs, while more local competition suppresses demand for a school’s online MBA program unless the school is highly ranked. These results serve as a caution to administrators who view online education as a solution to constraints they face in attracting students locally.","PeriodicalId":47318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Business","volume":"98 1","pages":"143 - 152"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44318298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study follows prior studies using 10 scenarios that cover four categories: societal responsibilities, personal gains, corporate gains, and ethical principles. The findings indicate that social issues and ethical principles are more important to students, while personal gains have more significance than corporate gains. Gender plays a significant role in moral perceptions, with women being less tolerant of unethical behavior. Women who encountered ethical concepts in classes and participated in religious practices were less accepting of unethical behaviors. Ramifications for ethics education are shown, with gender being an intermediate (control) factor.","PeriodicalId":47318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Business","volume":"98 1","pages":"192 - 198"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59454024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Across 10,000 observations and all business disciplines, grades trended higher throughout pandemic, although student performance on assessment tests and the incidence of failing or dropping remained unchanged. This suggests that universities and employers who use GPA as a screening tool should be cautious.
