Professor, I am sorry I did not check my email. technology does offer the student the freedom of less constricting time in the classroom. The adult learner can attend school without disrupting family and work responsibilities. A major reason adults do not pursue higher degrees is due to availability of hours in their day. However, online learning can be expensive and tuition not always covered by grants and scholarships. Another drawback can be technical problems and the student may not have access to computers and may not be proficient enough in the skills. This can lead to frustration if the student does not have adequate online support. other students may need the support of peers and teachers in the classroom setting and can feel isolated with online studies.
Kathleen, Many online programs are under attack for the reasons you just spelled out. At Kaplan we are trying very hard to correct these issues. If there is anything I can do to help you on your journey let me know. MAT
I just viewed the video, very cute computer, I could almost imagine this being available at some point.
