Research & Studies

The 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)
