Carina Bethea's curator insight, June 7, 2015 9:00 PM

This study actually proves that digital/online learning is generally more effective than traditional learning. I can honestly say that I was a bit surprised. I am a firm believer in classroom settings as I felt as if I was "forced" to pay a lot more attention when sitting in front of the teacher, but I guess I am not the majority. 
Now the next question is "which kind" of digital learning is best: distance education, online learning or blended learning? If I had to guess, I would guess blended learning, because it combines face-to-face teaching with online learning. That leaves the students and teachers with a lot more options for communication and learning/teaching methods.
