Title Comparative Analysis of Learner
Satisfaction and Learning Outcomes in
Online and Face-to-Face Learning
Environments.
THE COMPARATIVE
EFFECTIVENESS
OF WEB-BASED AND CLASSROOM
INSTRUCTION:
A META-ANALYSIS
Target
Audience
Nineteen students, most of whom are
pursuing a graduate degree in Human
Resource Development in both face to
face and online group.
19,331 trainees who took part in
168 training courses
Objective
The primary purpose of this empirical
study compared a graduate
online course with an equivalent
course taught in a traditional face-
to-face format on a variety of
outcome measures: (assessment
of course interaction, structure,
and support+ learning
Outcomes: course projects, grades,
and student self-assessment).
The objective is to examine the
effectiveness of WBI relative to
CI for teaching declarative and
procedural knowledge.

Significant
Difference
no Yes (better with
technology)
Results
This study concludes that while
distance education may not be
superior to or better than traditional
face-to-face education, it is not worse
than traditional education. It can be an
acceptable alternative because it is
just as good as traditional education.
2-the students in the face-to-face
course held slightly more positive
perceptions about the instructor and
overall course quality although there
was no difference between the two
course formats in several measures of
learning outcomes.
The overall results indicated WBI
was 6% more effective than CI for
teaching declarative knowledge,
the 2 delivery media (traditional
delivery media with WBI) were
equally effective for teaching
procedural knowledge, and
trainees were equally satisfied
with WBI and CI. However, WBI
and CI were equally effective for
teaching declarative knowledge
when the same instructional
methods were used to deliver
both WBI and CI.
4. Our Opinion
As these to studies concluded, there is no significant differences between
face to face learning and online learning on learning outcomes, unless this
difference can be occurred while using technology. Although we support
this opinion but we believe that the most effectiveness is occurred via
instructional methods rather than media delivery.

Editor's Notes
The primary purpose of this exploratory empirical study was to compare
an online course with an equivalent course taught in a traditional face-toface
format. Comparisons included student ratings of instructor and course
quality; assessment of course interaction, structure, and support; and learning
outcomes such as course projects, grades, and student self-assessment
of their ability to perform various ISD tasks.
providing trainees with control, practice,
and feedback during WBI will maximize learning declarative knowledge
from WBI relative to CI.
