In a review of empirical studies, the U.S. Department of Education concluded, “...on average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face classes.” (Evaluation of Evidence-based Practices in Online Learning, May 2009)
Key Findings
The effectiveness of online learning is tied to learning time, curriculum, pedagogy, and opportunities for collaboration.
Online learning can be enhanced by giving learners control of their interactions with media
Online learning can be enhanced by prompting learner reflection.
![Page 17: ICSN 2010](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55494d80b4c905f74e8b476c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What doesn’t impact learning?
• Incorporating online quizzes• Media combinations don’t necessarily matter, but
control over them does• Scripts to support interaction can influence HOW
learners interact, but don’t improve learning
![Page 18: ICSN 2010](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55494d80b4c905f74e8b476c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“No Significant Difference”
• “Florida Connections Academy 2009 State Test Scores Exceed Overall State Results” (Connections Academy)
• “Newly released state data reveal that e-schools perform better academically than Big 8 districts at lower cost “ (Ohio Alliance for Public Charter School)

Pass Rate Predictive Model
• Decision Tree Analysis– Improved grades (from 88% to 92%) when participants’
logged into LMS more than 10 times over six weeks. The average is further improved to 98% when frequency of logins increased to 17 times.
![Page 31: ICSN 2010](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55494d80b4c905f74e8b476c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Engagement
• Clustering– More time spent online = more time spent offline.– Previous online teaching experience = more hours spent
both online and offline.

WHY NOW?
Improvements in Technology
Looming Crises http://www.all4ed.org/files/OnlineLearning.pdf • the funding cliff; • a looming teacher shortage; and • global skill demands vs. educational attainment.
Change in thinking about teaching and learning?
