"If you are asking this question," says Tanya Joosten, "you should probably continue teaching f2f." I think that was a very restrained way to make the point.  Because if you're still asking this question, you've been oblivious to the last two decades of evidence that has piled up showing that online can work just as well as face-to-face. Yes, you have to do it differently - what did you expect? For those people who are still sceptics, this post is filled to the rafters with references proving the point. And as Joosten says, instead of asking which is better, you should be asking "how do I take advantage of the online medium and associated technologies to effectively support my students' learning?"
