We need more e-colleges providing online learning - editorial, the Christian Science Monitor
Children born since the dawn of the Internet Age probably wouldn't think twice about learning online. They might just as soon read a Shakespeare sonnet on Twitter as hear it live from a teacher in a classroom. And yet the educational establishment still debates whether e-learning (aka "virtual schooling" or "distance education") can be as good as traditional in-person teaching in a campus setting. Now the results of a recent federal study should help "log out" of that tired debate. The study, released by the U.S. Department of Education, found that many types of online education for a college degree are better at raising student achievement than face-to-face teaching.
