The U.S. Department of Education releases a report on online learning studies -Lauri Harrison, the Examiner
The U.S. Department of Education, Center for Technology in Learning, recently released their latest report “Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning: A Meta-Analysis and Review of Online Learning Studies”. The findings revealed that on average, online students out performed those receiving face-to-face instruction. In addition, they identified that learners in the online environment spent more time performing a task than student’s offline. The research focused on the K-12 environment, but the findings are interesting for online education as a whole.
