Abstract
Distance learning courses, such as hybrid, blended, and fully online options are in great demand as students from various backgrounds and experiences take advantage of the flexibility provided by these courses. On the other hand, student success and retention rates in these courses are low. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, this study will determine if implementing effective instructional strategies within introductory level science distance learning courses will increase online student engagement, leading to student success in the course.
