There is one example of a study that compared the two approaches, but there has been very little research done in this area.
Five studies are presented regarding what technology to use. Experience has shown that the "best" technology varies from student to student and that a mix of media is best. A useful line of research is into how different media reinforce each other. Many studies exist over thirty years that students can build on for proposing new research. These front fixed costs are higher than those of the conventional university. Two studies are listed that examine, for the most part, the costs of faculty time.
Six questions are listed regarding how to be an effective distance teacher, and eight examples of studies of teaching strategies in distance eduction delivered online.
Cost Effectiveness
Primary questions involve strategies to produce the best results at the lowest cost.
Table 10.1 summarizes the variables that determine the effectiveness of distance education which require further research. (Moore and Kearsley)
As part of cost effectiveness studies, calculating the savings due to lower travel or hiring fewer teachers has never worked because of the political sensitivity of addressing hiring practices, and travel expenses are passed on to students anyway. (Moore and Kearsley) Three examples of cost-effectiveness studies are presented.
Caution must be taken when reviewing cost-effectiveness studies. It is hard to find truly comparable data because some evaluators ignore certain costs. For example, overlooking some capital costs such as who paid for the faculty parking lot, or shared costs such as equipment, telephone, and internet access.
Research on policy and how policies are arrived at for distance education is the most underdeveloped of all research. Eleven examples of policy research are presented.
Conclusion
More research, and in particular theory-based research (previously defined as "the sum of what is known") is needed to explore beyond the short-term. (Moore and Kearsley)

Bedsore prevention was not given priority in the 'benchmarks' used to grade nursing effectiveness and insufficient care and attention was devoted to ensuring that nurses followed standardized preventative procedures. Nurses themselves cited many perceived barriers to being able to take full precautions, including a lack of time, having to work long shifts and being over-tired, and a lack of emphasis on such routine patient care overall. An important implication of
The practical limitations also have to do with the underlying managing of logic from an increasingly more dense packing of circuits on a single surface mount, as would be the case in the development of an integrated circuit. How can application software improve the effectiveness of a large enterprise? What are some of the benefits associated with implementation of an enterprise resource planning system? What are some of the issues

An interesting point they bring up is the circumvention of cheating by having another person complete your coursework: In the future we may be able to remotely identify individuals using devices that scan finger, voice, or eye-prints technology, which is already in use for security applications, but at present this seems a rather extreme measure. (Moore & Kearsley) This also introduces the problem of plagiarism that has seeming run rampant in both
There is no formula to fall back on when trying to address the real needs and perceived needs of various elements in the organizational hierarchy: hence the challenge for the administrator. The administrative budget is often the aspect of the online learning environment most tempting to "skimp" upon, given that administrative savings are supposed to be one of the benefits of the online environment, "Good management means extensive planning and
