El propósito del estudio fue explorar la relación entre la edad, ingreso de acuerdo al código postal, género, concentración, raza y status ESL con las calificaciones obtenidas en los cursos de educación en línea, modalidad asincrónica de un grupo de estudiantes que asiste a un colegio comunitario en la ciudad de Nueva York. Para obtener los resultados del estudio, se utilizaron datos proporcionados por la Oficina de Investigación Institucional y Avaluación Estudiantil (Office of Institutional Research and Student Assessment) del Colegio. Para el estudio se analizaron datos de 557 estudiantes que completaron 954 cursos de educación en línea, modalidad asincrónica durante cuatro semestres consecutivos. En el estudio se encontró una correlación entre la edad de los participantes y las calificaciones obtenidas en los cursos de educación asincrónicas (r = .01). Además se estableció una diferencia significativa entre la concentración de los participantes (todas las concentraciones (M = 3.77, DS = 1.7); educación (M = 3.55, DS = 3.91) (t = 2.2, p = 0.03) con respecto a las calificaciones obtenidas en los cursos de educación en línea, modalidad asincrónica. Los hallazgos de este estudio serán utilizados como punto de partida para realizar una investigación más detallada sobre las relaciones que existen entre el estatus socioeconómico de los estudiantes matriculados en un Colegio Comunitario localizado en la ciudad de Nueva York y su desempeño académico en los cursos a distancia.
