The key difference between signalling and human capital models is that signalling models allow firms to draw inferences about unobserved characteristics of workers. Those inferences can be based on the schooling or work experience of workers, or on direct measures of some aspects of job performance. So, if the student succesfully studied online at home, then he or she is more perseverant, so may be more succesful in future work and receive higher salary.
