Online Learning Can Improve Michigan Public Education - Michael Van Beek, Mackinac Center
Research also demonstrates that instructional quality is not watered down in online environments. In fact, recent studies suggest that online learning can be even more effective than traditional face-to-face instruction. Last year, the U.S. Department of Education analyzed 51 different studies of online learning in primary, secondary and higher education. The study concluded, "Students who took all or part of their class online performed better, on average, than those taking the same course through traditional face-to-face instruction." The greatest potential benefit of online learning is the narrowing of the achievement gaps that have developed between urban, rural and suburban students.
