This is a fascinating research report, Vicki. Can you provide a few more details regarding your respondents? In particular, what types of instruction are these organizations involved in? Work related staff development; adult literacy; etc.? Was any information collected regarding the populations they serve? I am currently planning my doctoral research and am thinking about comparing the face-to-face instruction and on-line learning in preparation programs (Masters level) of Library Media Specialists. My search is on for other research that has measured differences in outcomes. Thank you for sharing your research.
