Choosing Language for Context and Purpose

Question 6 • ELA 11B-CR

What would be the best citation for an argument in favor of online learning?

Answer
A
According to the US Department of Education, “online and face-to-face conditions generally differed on multiple dimensions” (Evaluation xiv).
B
According to the US Department of Education, “students in online conditions performed modestly better, on average, than those learning the same material through traditional face-to-face instruction” (Evaluation xiv).

Explanation

A citation supporting online learning should provide evidence that online learning has a benefit. Choice B reports that students learning online performed modestly better on average than students learning the same material face-to-face, which directly supports an argument in favor of online learning. Choice A only says the learning conditions differed; it does not say that online learning was better.
