From the Paper:

"For those who are introverted, the "virtual classroom" takes away the fear of being in a room with possible strangers, and it is more accommodating for people with disabilities who may not be able to spend long periods of time seated in a classroom. The use of technology for training purposes has also been identified as a trend and best practice within the training arena (Colteryahn, 2005). Adding a dimension of personal experience to the discussion of technologically based training, the researcher personally knows several individuals who have earned various college degrees, ranging from Bachelor's to Master's, by "attending" an online university's "virtual campus"."
