Study Finds That Online Education Beats the Classroom #hackedu
The study’s major significance lies in demonstrating that online learning today is not just better than nothing — it actually tends to be better than conventional instruction,” said Barbara Means, the study’s lead author and an educational psychologist at SRI International.
I'm sure many like me long suspected this. This is good news for Teachers, contrary to what they might think. They need help, and now they have a trusted and "proven" partner - "online education". I've always preferred teachers who inspire me over those that force my attention on uninteresting and sometimes useless information.
On-line education will allow us the time to discover and unleash great teachers.
