A 2003 study by the Program Evaluation and Research Branch of the Los Angeles Unified School District might be relevant and useful, even though it does not specifically relate to distance learning combined with face-to-face instruction. Rather it looked at computer use in the classroom in general. Among the findings were that while "the effect of computer use on student promotional rates or earned CASAS benchmarks was not statistically significant", "Students in computer use classrooms were more likely to find better jobs, get their GED/HS diplomas, and increase their community involvement", "Students in computer use classes also demonstrated greater articulation within their goal development", and "the benefits and effects of computer technology on student learning included lesson reinforcement, practice opportunities, ability for self-direction, and self-monitoring of progress".
