Study: Students engaged in e-learning performed betterThe U.S. Department of Education just released a new study concluding that, on average, students taking a course solely or partly online performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction.

These higher performance levels were attributed to the various benefits of hybrid/blended classes. The benefits of online education include:

  • the ability to spend more time with the course content
  • more opportunities for collaboration with peers
  • increased access to accompanying and corresponding materials
  • learning the way that works best for you (pedagogy/learning experience)
