Online education and blended learning are playing an increasingly prevalent role in the lives of students and teachers. Such technological change is still, however, at an early stage. As such, we have little rigorous evidence on the impacts such transformations will have on the educational world. This panel examines the impact of new forms of education in three settings. The first paper examines high school students using online coursework to recover credits in classes previously failed. The second paper explores the interaction between online learning and teacher quality in the context of a university serving students often on non-traditional college trajectories. The third paper examines a new online graduate program in computer science at a prestigious university, a program that has the potential to revolutionize the provision of graduate STEM education. These papers all explore the potential that online education has to transform education, but each examines a different student population, one in high school, one in college and one pursuing graduate education. The first two examine students generally at the low end of the skill distribution, while the third paper looks at the high end of the distribution. Nonetheless, all are relevant to the question of how online education can change the quality of the education that students of all types have access to.
