After reading the articles this week, I am convinced that distance learning can be just as effective as face to face. There are elements that need to be present for this to happen. They include a well thought out teaching plan, effective communication and interaction between the teacher and student-to -student as well as timely feedback.
I was thinking that in the US, there wasn't a stigma about online learning. Then I was watching a Glee re-run. Once again Sue was telling Mr. Schuester that she was better than him. This time it was because she had her PhD and he didn't. Mr. Schuester said, "Yeah, but you got it online!"
Okay, the line was funny, but I still felt guilty while I laughed!
