The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine prior research that compared the differences between the academic performance of students who undertook online homework as against those that undertook traditional pen and pencil homework. Eighteen experimental and quasi-experimental studies met inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Eleven found online homework to produce better academic performance and seven found traditional pen and pencil homework to produce better academic performance. The Random-Effects model was used for this meta-analysis and the overall effect size was found to be 0.06 [-0.19, 0.32]. The comparison between academic performance from online homework as against traditional pen and pencil homework was not statistically significant from the published studies examined.
