Bad Science

Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning.  This government sposored meta-study

was disappointing.  Not because it showed that on-line learning and in class learning have similar results but because the studies that were analyzed were so non-scientific that the results cannot be trusted.  I think it is time for the government to fund an unbiased, scientifically controlled study comparing face-to-face and distance learning.  The distance learning field is ever growing and educators need a clear, reliable study on distance learning validity and best practices.
