According to the author, "Five of the ten projects reported improved learning outcomes; four reported no significant difference; one was inconclusive. Six of the ten projects measured changes in drop-failure-withdrawal (DFW) rates; five showed improvement. All ten projects produced cost savings ranging from 16% to 77% with an average of 33%." The report lists specific techniques used to achieve improved educational results (such as continuous assessment and feedback) and cost savings (such as resource sharing and reduced instructor time). This is a pretty good report and useful as a benchmark for assessing other online learning projects.CRLF
