VariablesBlind Scores in a Graduate Test: Conventional Compared with Web-based Outcomes

The Florida Teletraining Project: Military Training via Two-way Compressed Video

ParticipatorsTwo graduate school environments-one in a conventional setting and the other in a web-based "virtual classroom."

TechnologyWeb Based Learning Video

Significant Difference No Yes

ResultsThis study confirms that there is little or no difference in student outcomes when online learning is compared with on-campus experiences .

Achievement levels among distance students was as high or higher than that expected of students receiving resident training.

Study Title

In the first study: in my point of view while studies confirms largely that there is little or no difference in student outcomes when online learning is compared with on-campus classroom experiences, there are other factors may effect their learning namely, it may take greater student maturity to sustain a commitment to self-motivated study in an online environment.

In the second study: the results said that there is significant difference between the millenarian that trained in distance through out the video and the others who trained in face to face. However I think training face to face is better because the trainers have to apply every thing they study in specific environment using specific materials that might not allowed to any individual use it with out direct guide such as weapons.
