PUTTING ONLINE COLLEGE CLASSES TO THE TEST
THE FACTS
An Ithaka S&R study examining the effectiveness of online learning found that college students enrolled in online classes scored just as well on standardized tests as students studying in the traditional classroom format.
Why We Care
As online classes become more effective, students can save time and money by taking advantage of the flexibility of virtual learning.
Our Opinion
Using digital formats in conjunction with traditional classroom learning can allow teachers to focus on issues that often are given less attention in traditional classrooms, such as tackling more complex material or helping struggling students.
