Abstract
This session examines what factors seem to make the difference when research favors online instruction as the media alternative to traditional teaching modalities (Zhao, Let, Yan, &Tan, 2005). The scholarship and reviews about the power of online learning will begin the session, providing a framework for examining scholarship, theory, and results. Discussion will focus on a short list of factors identified from research studies. These will be compared to online learning standards. A case example will provide a springboard for discussion and more examples of factors of integrated course design, learning goals and activities, and feedback and assessment (Fink, 2007) that account for the success of online learning.
