%X As online courses continue to gain in popularity at colleges and  universities throughout the country, knowledge about the effectiveness  of this mode of instruction, relative to that of traditional,  face-to-face courses, becomes increasingly important. A 2009 report by  the U.S. Department of Education provides a meta-analysis of studies  published up to 2008, examining the relative effectiveness of the  different delivery formats in helping various populations of students  learn different types of course content. This Ithaka S+R literature  review complements that effort.
