The purpose of this paper is to discuss an instructional design project implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of a supplemental online resource on probability in Moodle, an online course management system, for 12th grade students in AP Statistics at a private school in Honolulu, Hawaii. 22 high school seniors participated in the module after months had gone by after learning the unit in a traditional classroom atmosphere. The collected data was used to determine the effectiveness of the module and to analyze the students’ attitudes toward hybrid or online learning. Results showed a general improvement in understanding the content in probability. Student feedback showed a more positive attitude for the convenient resource and the ability to review concepts that were forgotten. Results from the project will guide teachers towards a better understanding of student success in an AP course.
