I'm thinking everybody has heard something related to online classes. Whether the feedback be good or bad, the experience can be quite interesting. After studying my options when registering for classes, I decided to try a couple of them. My experience with the online classes is quite positive because there is no set time when to be at school and you can work on assignments at your own leisure.
What I look forward to in the future of on-line classes is there might be no physical classrooms, just video lectures. Also, the student will have 100% control of when their work is due, and there might be no more instructors and professors. I can't predict the future but looking at the popularity rate of the online classes, I start believing that it may be possible someday.
I think you're right on your comments, but you might take a look at a couple of websites that list the pros and cons of online classes. It really opened my eyes as to some of the reasons to take or not to take these types of classes...doesn't mean I'm going to stop, but it was interesting reading! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think online learning is great. I wouldn't be able to go to school without that option. While I believe that there will continue to be new methods and innovations to make online learning even more effective, I can't envision the day where all secondary education will be conducted online. Those who are in the position of hiring measure a college by the accomplishments of its graduates. Fair or unfair... an online education (from anywhere) generally isn't perceived with the same respect as a brick-and-mortar school... at least not today.
ReplyDeleteThere is definitely a place and need for online classes. This is my first online class and feel fortunate that it has been going well. I am really learning as opposed to jus 'mailing it in', and that was my main worry. I am pretty sure the online experience will be very different in ten years.
