Melissa: If I comprehend you response correctly, I interpret it as meaning that given that the competencies are the same for both modalities, the learning outcomes will be the same. So let's devote some more attention to this line of thought. And I will even stretch it a little farther in this example. Assume that in the online version of the course,the lecture component are videos of the Instructor speaking. The content of the video is equivalent to that of the on-the-ground lecture. Will the amount of learning students taking the on-the-ground version be the same as those taking the online version? Satrohan
