iNACOL President Susan Patrick said, "Online or in a classroom, a student's teacher has greater impact on their learning than any other factor. This research examines the relationship between educational practices of online teachers, methods and course completion rates. This research provides an important look at the correlation between these elements for teaching courses critical to a student's success."

The researchers aim to add to the existing knowledge to address and examine the educational practices and backgrounds for the teacher workforce in a large virtual school, and how these factors relate to student satisfaction and course completion.
