Exactly. The tools are not the point, it's the learning results that matter. And they stem from the learning activities, which in turn are supported by the tools that are employed.

“On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those
receiving face-to-face instruction -
The report looked at just under one hundred studies that compared the
performance of students in online learning environments (or courses with an
online study component) to those who were given strictly face-to-face
instruction for the same courses. - 3 more annotations...

The shift to on-line forms of learning will be rapid; prison-styled public schools do not work well for most kids

Thinking in terms of schools, teachers co-located with kids in district schools, or textbooks is very dated. The Web 2.0 is here, and its still evolving. The real question is: how can educational institutions evolve to get aligned with the technological infrastructure so as to serve both classical and evolving educational goals.

According to the New York Times Bits blog, a recent study funded by the US Department of Education (PDF) found that on the whole, online learning environments actually led to higher tested performance than face-to-face learning environments.

“In many of the studies showing an advantage for online learning, the online and classroom conditions differed in terms of time spent, curriculum and pedagogy. It was the combination of elements in the treatment conditions (which was likely to have included additional learning time and materials as well as additional opportunities for collaboration) that produced the observed learning advantages,” writes the authors of the report (emphasis theirs). “At the same time, one should note that online learning is much more conducive to the expansion of learning time than is face-to-face instruction.”

Anyone can absorb information from a book or video, but good teachers will always be necessary to draw out that knowledge and help students develop the skills needed to think critically about the information they consume.

Students spending three hours per day in an online environment under the guidance of a great professor are likely, and not surprisingly, going to be better prepared than those spending an hour per week in a classroom with a mediocre one.

SRI International, which conducted the study for the DoE, constructed a conceptual framework of the different types of online education. They broke learning down into three types: expository (learners receive information via digital means), active (learners build knowledge by manipulating online tools), interactive (learners build knowledge through collaborative interaction).
