2011-2012学年，至少注册了一门在线课程的学生人数达到了近670万人，约占总注册人数的32%(Allen&Seaman，2013)。随着越来越多的高校开设在线课程，有必要进一步研究课程设计和有效的在线策略。许多研究人员(LaPointe&Reisetter，2008；Liu，et al.，2007；Ouzts，2006；Rovai，2002a)已经证实，高质量的在线学习会在其成员中培养强烈的社区意识。这项研究的目的是描述在线课程设计与学生的社区感和学生成就感之间的关系的强度和方向，这是通过参加完全在线本科和研究生课程的学生的课程结束成绩来衡量的。采用相关分析探讨各变量之间的关系。研究结果表明，社区意识和课程设计对在线课程的重要性，因为课程设计、社区意识和学生成就感之间存在统计上显著的正相关关系。这项研究有助于在以西班牙裔为主的人口中，了解关于社区意识、材料和规划互动的知识，以及它们预测学生成绩的综合能力。
The number of students enrolled in at least one online course reached nearly 6.7 million for the 2011-2012 academic year, which represents around 32% of the total enrollment (Allen & Seaman, 2013). As more higher education institutions offer online courses, it is necessary to further study course design and effective online strategies. Numerous researchers (LaPointe & Reisetter, 2008; Liu, et al., 2007; Ouzts, 2006; Rovai, 2002a) have established that high-quality online learning fosters a strong sense of community among its members. The purpose of this study is to describe the strength and direction of the relationship between online course design and students’ perceived sense of community and student achievement as measured by end-ofcourse grades of students enrolled in fully online undergraduate and graduate courses. Correlational analysis was used to explore the relationship between the variables. The findings show the importance of both sense of community and course design may have on an online course because there was a statistically significant positive relationship between course design, sense of community and student achievement. This study contributes to the body of knowledge regarding sense of community and materials and planning interaction and their combined ability to predict student achievement in a mainly Hispanic population.
