National Study of Student Engagement:

“Not only do students who utilize the Internet and online technology in their learning tend to score higher in the traditional student engagement measures (e.g. level of academic challenge, active and collaborative learning, student-faculty interaction, and supportive campus environment), they also are more likely to make use of deep learning approaches like higher order thinking, reflective learning, and integrative learning in their study. They also reported higher gains in general education, practical competence, and personal and social development.”

Caterpillar University Case Study:

eLearning is less expensive to deliver almost regardless of learner population:

• 40 percent less expensive than ILT when learner opportunity costs were taken into account ($9,500 vs. $17,062)
• When large populations and longer programs are modeled, the cost advantage of online learning is even more pronounced, with savings as high as 78 percent
