This document summarizes three studies that compare face-to-face and distance education. The first study found that students in a face-to-face Master's course performed significantly better on assessments than online students. The second study found no significant difference in performance or attitudes between traditional and distance intro to philosophy students. The third study found that high-ability students performed better using certain online navigational tools, while all students had more positive attitudes with a different tool.
