' This is learning as was conducted throughout history, as mentioned above. Though traditional learning is not dependent on technology, it utilizes technology in order to supplement various learning techniques. The reason traditional learning is hypothesized to be more efficient in this case is because of the fact that it can eliminate the components that may not function well in online learning, described above.
The proponents of online learning, however, argue that it is much more efficient, as students are still able to turn in assignments and ask questions, but that it enables those at a distance to still fulfill their classroom obligations and learn despite being unable to attend class in person. The opponents of such learning, however, or the advocates of traditional learning, maintain that interaction with a professor, and with other students, is actually part of learning, and that this interaction can lead to questions and thoughts, and…...

In order to get the valid and complete feedback, the writer should have included both the experienced as well as novice students in this study. The reason is that experienced students may not be able to point out the real problems as compared to novice students, who are much more aware of their surrounding and notice things more. The correct approach would have been to take feedback from both the experienced as well as the new student, in order to synthesize the correct result. Choosing old student would not make this research very authenticated. One more thing that is worth point out is that social presence can be felt by student if they experience any feedback from fellow students, but in case of online education which does not contain interaction between students, so how will social presence be judged there.

Online Ed
Online vs. Traditional Classrooms

The Internet has provided enormous opportunities in many different areas of society, from pure information seeking to commerce to government access and a variety of other services. Even the world of education -- and especially higher education -- has been transformed by the advent of the Internet in numerous ways that support traditional classroom learning (the availability of online notes and podcast lectures, email communication, etc.) and in classrooms and learning experiences that are entirely online-based and do not require any physical classroom or direct student interaction at all. While there are many benefits to online education from both the school's and the student's perspective, there are also certain potential problems. The following pages compare online and traditional classrooms in the areas of cost, ease, and the quality of the education, comparing and contrasting the benefits and problems of the two learning methods in each area.

Online Dating
The internet provides society with a wide selection of things to do, people to communicate with and items to purchase. It is important to pause occasionally and examine how this invention has both helped and hindered people since its use became so widespread. The purpose of this essay is to examine how this online platform affects the practice of dating. This essay will argue that the dating rituals of past times are no longer being practiced in the same way, rather online dating has created new and dramatic effects that alter the way society is constructed.

Social activity often requires people leaving their homes and going out to meet others. This live interaction, as it still does, provides opportunities for people to perform courting and mating rituals. This live interaction gives each other an opportunity to get a good feel for what someone is like in many different ways.

Persistence (also called retention) is defined as remaining enrolled in the institution, presumably until degree attainment or completion. Online courses can help students achieve this, because they provide options for learning that were previously not available to them (Drennan, Kennedy, & Pisarski, 2005).
Satisfying and rewarding interactions with the formal and informal academic and social systems of the institution lead to greater integration and persistence (Tinto, 1975). However, teachers of online classes must find ways to keep their students integrated and to increase the social network that they have. Online chats and discussions can help with that, but only if the students participate in them (ichardson, 2006). If the students do not want to participate they will not, and if they are forced, this can cause them problems as well. Unpleasant or limited interactions inhibit integration and decrease the likelihood of persistence, whether online or in the traditional classroom.

Online Stores Offers Competitive Advantage
Comment by Sabina:

In an unstable economy such as our current economy every business must seek a competitive advantage. Our economy has suffered a recession in the last few years, many people have lost their jobs, families have lost their homes and disposable income has disappeared. All business must develop a strategic business plan to gain a competitive advantage, allowing them to stay in business and establish success. In this paper I will discuss how offering online services and online stores have a competitive advantage in the market.

Stores that are fully online can keep overhead cost low. Online businesses do not have to pay rent for space, and in many case they can keep cost lower without additional expenses. Store front business has many expenses such as electricity, insurance for the location and many other expenses. Online stores require fewer employees since the business is operated from…...

Online Therapy
Given the prevalence and permeation of digital discourse, it is not surprising that psychological counseling can now be conducted online. Online counseling provides similar sets of services to clients as in-person counseling, albeit the scope of services will be limited to the restrictions of the technology. One of the benefits of online counseling is that it permits individuals to transcend both geography and time with regards to scheduling services with professionals. Individuals in rural areas, and those with difficult schedules, stand to benefit most from online counseling. Preliminary research shows that online counseling can be effective for many disorders (Bell, 2007). However, not all psychological issues or disorders are conducive to an online counseling intervention. Online sessions have a "disinhibiting" effect that can be especially effective for cohorts with issues like social anxiety (Cook & Doyle, 2004, p. 95).

Comparison of Two Archival Repositories Websites The New York State Archives website provided access to textual records, photographs government documents, artifacts, and manuscripts. The digital collection archive is mostly derived from the New York State Archives, New York State Museum, and the State Library. From the collection of information, one can access from the website it is mostly historical in nature, which makes the website highly targeted towards genealogists, historians, and K-12 students. Looking at the Florida State Archives website, it does not offer as much information as the New York State Archive, but it does provide select archival resources that have been pulled from the collections held in the State Library and Archives of Florida. The website has mainly digitized materials and information that illuminates the state's culture and history. This makes the website mostly geared towards genealogists, historians, and K-12 students.

In these exceptions, which may be a one-time transfer of funds from a 401k to an IA or to a mutual fund, the financial services firms need to create ethical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality and actual funds themselves are secure. The bottom line is that the financial services firms need to create a highly secure, customized and tightly integrated series of web-based online trading applications and tools to make sure individual investors can work to attain their investment goals.
Improvements for Online Trading as a Self-Service Strategy

There are many opportunities for improvement for Web-based online trading tools, starting with even stronger security specifically on the area of inter-fund transfers and the recording of transactions. Today many of these Web-based online applications store history only for 12 months, and do not provide an audit record back three or five years of all in-account transactions.

Rule 1 (Notice): A company must notify customers that it uses online profiling to track their online habits. If it collects personally identifiable information about customers, such as their names, addresses or telephone numbers, the company's website must clearly and unambiguously notify them of this fact before the company collects this information.

Rule 2 (Choice): Depending on the type of information a company collects, there must be opt-in and opt-out options. Opt-in, or obtaining the customer's permission, is required to link personally identifiable information that a company has about a customer such as name, address or telephone number with data acquired about Web surfing habits. Opt-out means that the customers have to be given the chance to…...

Logos in online communications changes because diction has changed such as in the use of slang. Words can be copied, pasted, and inserted into related documents that are then shared with the group via the online collaboration software and so words have become less sacrosanct, more a part of the common domain.
Online collaboration tools aid communication and make at-a-distance meetings possible. However, online communication has drawbacks. One major drawback with online communication is the potential for misunderstanding because of the lack of nonverbal communication cues. Unless the speaker uses video conferencing tools, his or her emotions are difficult to read. The use of emoticons does not make up for slight twitches in facial muscles, eye contact, or posture in helping viewers read the speaker. Therefore, online communication tools make the pathos part of the rhetorical equation more difficult to execute. Group members need to use creative means to convey…...

Business communication plays a significant role in day to day activities, because nearly every transaction a person engages in is a form of business. At work, business communication is more than just talking with the boss about important matters. It's also small interactions between colleagues, how you talk to customers and vendors, and non-verbal communication concerns like posture and facial expression. In an increasingly global society, proper business communication is becoming more significant. You can find information on this issue in business journals.

According to some authors, divorce is a problem when it comes to delinquency. Others do not see a strong correlation. For example, "The variables that predict male delinquency were found to be different from those that predict female delinquency. Characteristics of the parents' marriage play an important role for boys, while misbehavior of girls is more strongly predicted by variables measuring parent-child interaction and parental control." comes from http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1533-8525.1982.tb01014.x/abstract and appears to say that only boys are affected by factors in their parents' marriage when it comes to delinquency.
