As I experienced taking online classes for the first time,
it was easy and allowed me to choose the pace and time that I studied, allowed
me to communicate with fellow students, instructors, and to take tests with
relative ease. The few problems occurred
due to technical matters that were quickly resolved. Other problems were caused by communication
problems between people.
While E-learning will continue growing in popularity it will
not replace the traditional school environment.
Not all answers can be found online.
Other factors such as group interaction and students with problems that
can only be solved by interacting with instructors, will require the
traditional mode of education.
As the technology becomes more affordable and wireless
communication grows, more schools will be eager to participate in online
education. Still, a student must be
highly disciplined, motivated, and committed to performing at his/her
best. For this type of study is as much
or maybe more demanding than the traditional classroom.
