In reviewing the chapter in Kearsley’s book on research, I found that one component of his research that was evident in each example of distance learning was student success (grades, motivation, amount learned). In the course evaluations, students learned as much as and sometimes more than in traditional courses. In one case, the students in the online course covered more material. As students gain more experience with online courses, they gain confidence in using technology and are more adept at learning at higher levels. One specific example in the text of student success was the Co-Nect project. Students involved in this project had gains in statewide assessments, fewer discipline issues, took more ownership in their learning, and had more parent involvement. These are all things that I would like to see with my students. Kearsley brings out the point that certain types of students and certain types of teachers are better suited to online education. I think that once students and teachers master basic technology skills, the advantages of online learning can take place.
