Abstrakt: This paper reports the preliminary findings for an on-going project investigating the effects of traditional versus web-assisted instruction through meta-analysis. We have collected and meta-analyzed the results of a group of studies on the impact of web-assisted instruction on learning and student satisfaction. Results of the sample of studies collected to this point indicate that web-assisted instruction is not associated with significantly more learning than traditional instruction in these studies. On the other hand, student satisfaction is significantly lower for web-assisted than traditional instruction. The effect sizes for both variables are heterogeneous. This could reflect flaws in the data (e.g., invalid measures of the dependent variables) or the operation of a moderator variable. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
