How Effective Is Online Learning? Research says....

Findings: “Few rigorous research studies of the effectiveness of online learning for K–12 students have been published… Students who took all or part of their class online performed better, on average, than those taking the same course through traditional face-to-face instruction… Instruction combining online and face-to-face elements had a larger advantage relative to purely face-to-face instruction than did purely online instruction” (p. xiv).
