Study Indicates Benefits Of Online Learning - City and Town Info
The new meta-analysis--which looks at existing studies for patterns and conclusions--may very likely further fuel the popularity of online education. U.S. News & World Report noted in April that more than 4 million students enrolled in at least one online course last fall, while in 2003 the number was less than 2 million. An important caveat mentioned by the study pointed out that the evidence did not endorse online learning as a medium. Instead, the analysis credited much of the success of online education to a combination of factors, including curriculum, pedagogy, and time spent taking courses. Indeed, the study noted that "online learning is much more conducive to the expansion to learning time than is face-to-face instruction."
