Summing up the assessment, I can say that despite the weaknesses of the study design used by the researchers (Wells & Dellinger, 2011), there are important implications this study has for future research: The findings suggest that quality of instruction is more important than the medium by which course content is delivered. A significant effect of the interaction between learner and instructor on perceived learning underscores the impact of faculty on the learning process. As Internet and other asynchronous teaching modalities become more prevalent in higher education, with universities competing for students nationally and internationally, teaching quality must be maintained. The finding that type of learning environment did not affect perceived learning is a desirable outcome.
