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
