I started my periodical search on highwire.com with
the search words online education vs. traditional. It came back with 6,761
results of which this is the first one. There were 2 of the first 10 that were
relevant.

This is the third one that looks really close to
what I’m looking for including the social perspective of online homeschooling.
Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society
Bulletin of Science, Technology
& Society (BSTS), peer-reviewed and
published bi-monthly, provides a means of communication within as wide of a
spectrum of the STS community as possible, including faculty and students from
sciences, engineering, the humanities, and social science. Its scope is that
which is of value in STS pedagogy at either the university or K-12 level.
The goal of the Bulletin of Science, Technology and
Society is to provide a means of communication within as wide of a spectrum of
the STS community as possible. This includes faculty and students from
sciences, engineering, the humanities, and social science in the newly emerging
groups on university and college campuses, and in the high school systems, all
of which teach integrative STS subject matters. It also includes professionals
in government, industry and universities, ranging from philosophers and
historians of science to social scientists concerned with the effects of
science and technology, scientists and engineers involved with the study and
policy-making of their own craft, and the concerned general leader. A third
category of readers represents "society": all journalists dealing
with the impacts of science and technology in their respected fields, the
public interest groups and the attentive public.
After this, I switched databases to look for free
articles that are as closely related to my subject as these. I used Google
Scholar with the term “online education vs. traditional education and found only
2 including a very recent article.
This is in the Journal of American Science, it’s an
article on the new challenges facing online students and the shift away from
traditional classrooms, written in 2011 by Gharibpana and Zamani at Islamic
Azad University in Iran. Surprisingly, it’s very well written and really right
on my subject matter, it’s titled; It just goes to show how small the internet
has made the world.
Accessing
characteristics of online education and comparing of traditional education.
I changed my search term to online education and changed the date to 200
or newer. It came back with 531,00 searches so I looked over the first page of
results and changed the term again to narrow it down. I put in online
education+traditional and got 657,000 results, that didn’t quite work like I
thought but I found an interesting paper written in 2010 in California that
looks at the performances and background of MBA Business students in both an
online and traditional environment.

questions and survey results of teachers and students.
