A review of studies of online learning has suggests:
- Learners who took all or part of their class online perform better than just face-to-face
- Combining face-to-face and online is more effective than purely online or face-to-face
- Learners online spent more time on task
- How the online was delivered made little difference to learning outcomes
- Online approaches showed benefits across content and learner types
- Variation of online materials and medium produced largest improvements
- Giving learners control of their interactions with media and the opportunity for reflection enhances learning
