I was very disappointed. Oh, well. Next time. Thanks for your thoughts, and the adult school distance learning Web page. I have added it to the Wiki. I want to ask you, though, why you say that you don't have hard evidence that supplemental DL instruction is effective. Would you agree that your research and Paul Porter's show that, for ESL students at least, the combination of classes and supplementary distance learning (EFA) produce greater learning gains? Are you saying you don't have evidence of its effectiveness for native speakers of English? Are you saying that classroom plus EFA (on video, CD or the web) should not be called supplemental learning? Or are you saying something else? I would appreciate better understanding this. Thanks.
