The article discusses a review that summarized the research on online teaching and learning by researcher Mary K. Tallent-Runnels and a team of other scholars. The review was organized into four categories including course environment, learners' outcomes, learners' characteristics, and institutional and administrative characteristics. The review found that there was not a comprehensive theory guiding the design of courses taught online. The paper identifies conceptual and methodological problems of early research on distance education. An important conclusion is that the research found that students have positive attitudes about online learning.
