Thankfully software companies right now are also paying attention to enhancing the education experience and not just focusing on mobile or entertainment apps. In case you are not aware of MySpeed yet, I want to share with you this productivity tool because it enables students to slow down video lectures or speed them up according to what would make them more easily comprehend the subject. Moreover, teachers would be more at ease to just give their lectures naturally, because each student can actually slow down or speed up his lecture on their own.

I would like to clarify some things. The study talks about: 1. How does the effectiveness of online learning compare with that of face-to-face instruction. 2.Does supplementing face-to-face instruction with online instruction enhance learning? 3.What practices are associated with more effective online learning? 4.What conditions influence the effectiveness of online learning? Face-to-face here refers to conventional classroom teaching. You are absolutely correct; the definition on page 9 of online learning excludes video-conference. However, the research does not deny the system of online face-to-face teaching. It focuses on the superiority of online and particularly blended teaching compared to traditional teaching. If it denies something is the traditional classroom teaching. We believe that despite the fact that this research does not take into consideration video conference, it is a testimonial to the success of online teaching and the rising trend. I think there is still a lot of suspicion on the effectiveness of online learning and any article that can change this preconception is welcomed and will have a positive result on the long run. What do you think? Please be free to comment any of your thoughts and ideas! Hello Kirsten,

Myngle is only offering face-to-face teaching. It does not matter if it is on the internet or at a table. What this study is talking about are courses a student takes online with interactive exercises and self correcting tests etc. Two different worlds ;). The definition can be found on page 9.
