For those who are interested: full list of stats and sources from the video.

I am slowly making my way through them now. Interesting! The ones that 
rang alarm bells were things such as "online learners are shown to 
perform better than those who learn in a classroom," and the like, and 
it's good to get the full story on the data behind such statements. For 
the most part it seems like while they may have been a bit overzealous 
in some claims, the data is there for a lot of it.

I need to stop reading now, though, as I have a story to work on before 
today's seminar! :)
