From the Paper:
"As the field continues to expand attention turns to evaluating its effectiveness. Online opportunities abound because of the advantages however, there have been recent concerns about the quality of education that they provide. The teacher is not face to face with the students. If they have questions they must wait until they get an email or chat response. There are more opportunities for academic dishonesty without in person discussion and testing. While online education can provide a valuable benefit to the students of the world it is important to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of such a path so that future courses can become even better."Sample of Sources Used:
