Online, students must actually demonstrate engagement. This forces them to think critically about the material. While it is much easier to fake participating in the classroom scenario, doing so is much more difficult online. Online courses also offer a degree of anonymity, which allow students to post what they really think and feel, encouraging intelligent discussion. Furthermore, online classes allow students who want the ability to participate the ability to do so 24/7, while being present in a classroom can be difficult for the returning adult student, or the working college student.
In addition to class participation, classroom courses also fall deficient to online courses when it comes to quality of learning. in-class courses require that a portion of the teacher's time be spent not on the imparting of knowledge, but on classroom management. Classrooms can be noisy, intimidating, and boring, and students can easily fake their own learning by…...

Traditional Classes, 2006)
Another factor with online classes is that the student has the opportunity to teach themselves. If a student does not learn well by listening to a lecture, working through the textbook on their own time might be a better option for them. This is a lot harder to do in traditional classes where attendance is required and classes move at the instructors pace. If on the other hand lectures are the way that a student prefers to get their information, then traditional classes will be the choice for them (Online Classes vs. Traditional Classes, 2006)

A student has many things to look at when trying to decide which style of learning that they want to pursue. Both the online and traditional methods both have their advantages. If a student has a hard time finding the time or availability to attend a campus setting then taking online classes may…...

College Students Choose Online Courses Over Traditional Ones
The fact that today's college students select so many online courses over traditional ones (even the same exact course) is perhaps surprising, especially for those who themselves attended a college or university when no such courses existed. Such individuals might question the appeal (and the educational value) of such remote, relatively anonymous courses. The topic is relevant to faculty, administrators, staff, and students at colleges and universities everywhere, worldwide. The topic is significant to the field of instruction because it bears on how instruction takes place: online, in the classroom, or perhaps in combination, or through other technological means like satellite television. The topic is significant to instructional design because online courses must be designed differently from traditional ones, with chat rooms, e-mail, bulletin board dialogues, and postings typically replacing class discussion. More detailed course content is delivered in writing, over the…...

The Case against Non-Participating Online Students

The Case against Non-Participating Online Students

With dropout rates 10 to 20% higher than bricks-n-mortar classes, the future success on online educational programs will depend on lowering these rates (reviewed by Nagel, Blignaut, and Cronje, 2009). The success of online classes has been shown to depend on student-instructor and student-student interactions, which are made more difficult by the long-distance nature of classes conducted over the internet. However, the difficulties associated with online classes are compensated for by opportunities to engage in prolonged online discussions with peers and instructors. The potential benefits of an interactive online learning environment therefore argue in favor of further research into what does and does not work and then making the necessary changes to improve educational outcomes.

Towards this goal, Nagel and colleagues (2009) monitored the experiences of students between the ages of 30 and 50 who were…...

Online Courses
Given potential issues, how do you design an online course that fosters equitable, ethical, and legal use of technology by learners?

Online courses, given that they lack the face-to-face class discussion component of 'real life' or conventional classroom courses must contain some forum whereby individuals and instructors may interact in a common and equitable environment. The meeting place of instruction often takes the form of online chat rooms, the use of blackboard technology, or simply communication via email between the instructor and various students. The medium depends upon the resources of the online university and the nature of the course. And as the medium and content of the courses offered online changes, so do the ethnical concerns involved on the part of the instructor of such courses.

First and foremost, in an online course environment, it is important that the instructor not have privileged access to only a few learners, depending…...

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC): An Examination
When the Internet debuted decades ago, all parties involved were aware of the fact that it would no doubt change the world, and change the way that we live. This has been proven to be true a thousand times over. One of the most profound impacts that it has had on society is that the internet has proven itself to be capable of bridging distance and bringing people together. People aren't just able to make friends from all over the world, but they're able to collaborate and work together with people from all over the world, seeing how others live, trading knowledge and trading understanding. Online education has been one of the pinnacle examples of this phenomenon. At this time, online education is rapidly expanding, and as anyone can see the possibilities attached to online learning are truly vast. One manifestation of this is…...

11). The most effective team members have experience dealing with the issues that will confront them as members of the team (Text, p.11). They can focus on the issues at hand, solving problems presented without getting derailed (Text, p.11). However, effective team members are not rigid; they are open to suggestions from other group members (Text, p.11). A good team member is also supportive. ather than focusing on how jobs are broken-down in the group, a team member is willing to pitch in when help is needed and accepted help when it is needed and offered (Text, p.11). Effective team members are action-oriented; they are looking for results and willing to do work when work is required (Text, p.11). Finally, positive team members work better in groups than people with negative attitudes (Text, p.11).

To that end, the Academic Senate recommends "comprehensive replacement plans to maintain currency of all technology" (Guidelines).
Distance learning courses are the inevitable child of advances in communication technology. Because human resources are a huge drain on a community college's limited funding, the use of technology to allow a single teacher to teach many more students than they could otherwise manage was natural. Teachers now have access to "such diverse learning strategies as computer assisted instruction, real-time two-way interactive video, multimedia presentations, electronic bulletin boards, and e-mail" (Curriculum). This allows them to create resources for students that can take the place of face-to-face time.

Hyperlinked tables of contents and indexes are tremendous time-savers as well as navigational aides. The non-linear presentation of digital texts appeals to learners adept at spatial relations, or those who appreciate metaphors. Hypertext allows learners to create and understand conceptual links between current course material and new or prior knowledge.
The multimedia presentation of digital text appeals to learners who rely on multiple senses including sight and hearing. Many students do not respond to purely verbal course material. The greatest strength of digital course materials may be its interactivity. Learners take an active role in their education when they can control the reading experience. Therefore, online texts replete with hyperlinks and multimedia content provide a wealth of opportunity for enhanced learning. The addition of instant messaging and related forms of digital communications make feedback and assessment methods more…...

Online discussions are asynchronous postings of electronic messages by members of a particular class in a conversation that is continued on topics that are designated by an instructor. Online discussions are useful since they help instructors facilitate online courses and faculties that teach remote sites through interactive television. These are quite beneficial for faculties that each traditional courses and only meet once or twice a week as well as faculties that are occasionally absent from class. This is just like any other type of learning and therefore theory will inform the facilitation of online discussion. Theory brings out the idea of what is to be learned and therefore will form the basis for the discussion. We can say that theory is what facilitates online discussion since the learners and facilitators have what they need to form the base of their discussion.it is therefore very important for the facilitators to have…...

Certainly, pedagogy may be an issue. Whatever the case, human anxiety is a critical issue in the employment of Web 2.0 technology in nursing education. In an article in Nursing Education Perspectives, the issue is raised as to whether social media such as Twitter could bridge the gap. It appears that Twitter may provide a social media that ties classes together and builds classroom comradery and community in the online classroom. Faculty interviewed in the article have reported success in this area. They report that the ability to send an unshared message to the instructor was helpful and may help reduce student anxiety (Skiba, 2008, 110-111).
It appears to this author that Twitter has tremendous potential, not just in the area of class community building and reduction of student anxiety, but also in developing and adapting the tool because of the handy diagnostic tools available to analyze bands of tweets…...

Do students lose more than they gain in online writing classes?

Kiefer argues that the online educational format for a writing class is inferior to the traditional classroom setting that is normally composed of a limited amount of students. In the traditional writing classroom students can be given the timely feedback that has been shown to be able to increase their writing capabilities. The online setting by contrast has inherent limitations that do not allow for the quality and timeliness that is needed to effectively study writing. Although Kiefer's overall argument has valid points, there are two considerations that must be taken. These considerations look at alternatives and the future of online education.

Body

The first is that not all students are able to take a class in person due to work or a personal situation. Therefore, while not ideal, an online course can still be a worthwhile endeavor with no better…...

Distance learning is a new scheme or mode of transferring and acquiring learning or education through the use of modern technology between instructor and student who are separated by time and space. It can be between schools, between schools and colleges and universities, within school buildings and districts or between individuals (urke, 2002).
Is earliest prototype was the international correspondence in the 19th century. In the 1970s, it reshaped into open universities, later into the 1980's wave of technological products, such as the videotape, broadcast, satellite and cable. In the 1990s, rey (as qtd in urke) predicted that distance education programs would phenomenally grow that decade to an extent that most of the people the U.S. would be served by it at the minimal ratio of 1:1, mostly in the community colleges. Right enough by 1994, 80% of community colleges in the U.S. began offering some form of distance education program…...

The qualitative scientific theoretical model (Shank, 2006, pp. 97-101) best exemplifies the demands of this theory-based research as qualitative inquiry, i.e. subjective data might not explain the issue, with regard to anything but perception by students and instructors as to the effectiveness of the course. In other words the qualitative scientific theoretical model would best demonstrate an answer to the issue of quality, in a manner than can be generalized. It is accepted that math understanding is the best indicator of how well an individual understands and can work within math concepts, therefore pre-testing through remedial testing and then a comparison of post-testing (a repeat of the progressive computer-based math placement test) would better indicate success and/or failure of the students to grasp math concepts. The results would then allow the two classes, face-to-face vs. online to be compared on an equal footing. The hope would…...
