Paper Summary:
This paper explains that the benefits of online classes are myriad, including ease of use, increased communication between student and instructor, completion times, more course offerings, alternatives for disabled students and most importantly, convenience and accessibility. The paper notes contentions that online classes offer drawbacks for some students. The paper discusses the claims of the lack of motivating forces for some students and the difficulty with e-mails between course instructors and students but maintains that the many benefits of online education far outweigh any drawbacks some students might perceive.From the Paper:
"With the advent of technology, the Internet, and advanced course creation software such as WEBCT, online education has become increasingly easy to use and develop. That means more educational institutions are offering a greater number of online classes. It also means ease of use for the online student. Early online classes were often difficult to negotiate and clumsy in their design. Today's online classes are usually very simple for the student to navigate, and they include a variety of additional information for the student to explore on their own as they navigate their way through the course."Sample of Sources Used:
