According to a report released in June 2009 by the U.S. Department of Education, online learning is more effective in promoting learning. That research result was quite wake-up call for many campus universities. And the power of this particular research is that it isn't based on one research study - it is a meta-study which analyzed 46 studies comparing online learning to face-to-face education.
Of course, the research doesn't say that it is more effective for every single student or the best choice for every situation. And this is very important if you are the individual choosing whether to do your studies at college or online.
So which should you choose - on-campus college or online learning?
