Karambelas, Devin. “Study: Students Prefer Real Classrooms over Virtual.” 2013.

Devin Karambleas is currently supporting the Vice President of National Programming,

six productions units, and other emerging video and podcast projects. She is one of eleven

Collegiate Correspondents selected nationwide, and she reported on technology and national

news stories for USA TODAY's College and main websites. Karambleas states how students

prefer in-person classes and that with the rise of college tuitions the percent of students to

participate in online courses is likely to rise. Karambelas’ purpose for this is to inform the reader

about why people are starting to move towards online classes but also why many others still

prefer to learn through traditional methods. I plan to use this to support my reasoning for why

students would choose to learn online but I could also use the article to show support towards

how more students prefer to learn face to face.

Lim, Doo, et al. “Online vs. Blended Learning: Differences in Instructional Outcomes and

Learner Satisfaction.” 2012.

Dr. Doo Hun Lim is a professor of Adult and Higher Education at the University of

Oklahoma. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has

quite a few interests when it comes to research, some of these include the areas of performance

improvement systems and technology, cross-cultural research on organizational development and

performance issues, and learning and motivation within virtual learning environments. Lim

compares the results from students who take Online and Blended courses, with this he takes the

percentages along with the feedback from students to compare and contrast the two teaching
 Gilton 2

styles. Lim’s purpose for writing this was to describe the differences between learning styles and

also to inform the reader of the benefits of both. I would use this article to help support my

thoughts on why blended learning is considered the best of both worlds when it comes to the

choice of learning styles.

Medina, Liliana Cuesta. “Blended Learning: Deficits and Prospects in Higher Education.”

Australasian Journal of Educational Technology​, 2017, doi:10.14742/ajet.3100.

Liliana Medina is a professor in the Department of Foreign Languages & Cultures at

Universidad de La Sabana in Chía, Colombia, South America. Her main interests both for

research and teaching are self-regulated learning, CLIL, professional development, academic

writing and cyberbullying. This article looks at the frame and evolution of the term blended

learning. From there it discusses the different blends that are possible and how each is either

more or less effective in benefitting the students and their learning process. Medina’s purpose for

writing this was to describe the different types of blended learning and what evolution has been

throughout the existence of it. I would use this article to describe how every learning style within

itself has differences and how the proper combination can lead to success for most students.

Stack, Steven Dr. (2015) "Learning Outcomes in an online vs traditional course," International

Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: Vol. 9: No. 1, Article 5.

Dr. Steven Stack is the author of 336 articles & Chapters and 4 books. His interest for

research is Empirical Predictors of Learning; Cheating Inhibitors in Online Instruction and is a

professor at Wayne State University. His article discusses the learning outcomes for traditional
 Gilton 3

face to face courses and online courses. He goes in depth not only about results from assessments

but also about the differences in students opinions and feelings about the courses. Dr. Stack’s

purpose for writing this was to compare the outcomes of online and traditional courses and how

students feel about each style of teaching. I would use this to show how students get different

benefits from both styles of learning and why blended learning has the benefits from each side.

University Global, Purdue. “Classroom vs. Online Education.” ​Purdue Global,​ Purdue

University Global, 20 June 2019,

www.purdueglobal.edu/blog/student-life/classroom-versus-online/.

This article is written by members of Purdue University’s staff that take part in both

online and traditional classes. These professors describe the differences and similarities between

the two options and also give pros and cons for each. They also give data on how many students

take part in each class or how many take part in a combination of the two. This was written to

inform students about the options available to them and help them decide which is best for them.

I would use this to help create a strong list of pros and cons for each learning style.

University, Potomac. “Online Classes vs. Traditional Classes - A Learning Comparison.”

University of the Potomac,​ 2017,

potomac.edu/learning/online-learning-vs-traditional-learning/.

This article is written by members of Potomac University staff that have taken part in

both online and face to face classes. These staff members describe the pros and cons for each

style of learning while also giving data to back up both. In this article, there is also the most
 Gilton 4

common degree types for each style of learning. The purpose of this article is to help incoming

students decide which type of class will best work for them. I would use this article to help show

the types of degrees available and most popular for each learning style. Also, I could use this

article to help create a list of pros and cons.

Zhu, Yangqiong. “Analysis on the Effectiveness of Blended Learning Mode Based on

Mosoteach Platform .” 2010.

Yangqiong Zhu is a professor and the article is describing the effectiveness of his blended

course. This article goes in depth about how the course is designed and the blend that is used to

get the best results for the students. Throughout the article, it is also described how the course

work is received from the students along with how everything functions together. The purpose of

the article is to show how blended learning is used and how it works along with the benefits not

only through numbers but also with student responses on how they felt the course worked for

them. I would use this as the main source of support towards why blended learning is the best of

both worlds and why it has benefited from the two main learning choices.
