04-001-US The Future of Learning (Part 1)

• First. Studies had to include comparison of online learning (both purely online and blended learning, a combination of online and face-to-face interactions) with traditional learning (face-to-face).

• Second. The studies had to measure quantifiable learning outcomes, such as test scores, graduation rates, or skills.

• Third. Studies were required to use randomization or matched comparison groups to examine the effect of online learning on learning outcomes.

The main findings of the meta-analysis were as follows.

• First. Online learning was, on average, at least as effective as traditional learning in terms of learning outcomes.

• Second. "Blended learning" (a combination of online learning and face-to-face interactions) led to better learning outcomes than purely traditional or purely online learning environments. • Third. The authors noted that when studying the effectiveness of online learning, it is important to consider the various aspects of the teaching and learning process, such as teaching methods, the quality of materials, teacher-student interactions, and student motivation. The study emphasizes the importance of effectively designing online learning environments and integrating face-to-face interactions to optimize learning outcomes. It provides valuable insights for the development of online instruction and the use of technology in the future of learning. __________________________________________________________________________ "The Digital Divide and COVID-19: Teachers' Perceptions of Inequities in Students' Internet Access and Participation in Remote Learning" was published in 2021 by Emily Green, Laura Fong, and Di Xu.
