I feel that someone who decides to approach the idea of learning online must be somewhat motivated and self directed. We all have responsibilities, whether it be holding a job, or being a student, raising families, etc – and being able to find the time to keep up with the demands of the course, can be taxing. That’s why I like the idea of being able to read each other’s blogs, and see what everyone else is doing. I think of it like a little support group, on the web. When people make comments on other blogs, this gives us all a chance to voice our opinion, or share an idea with many. To me this is also a part of the learning process, sharing ideas with other people. Being able to contact the instructor is another positive, email /blogs – it is an easy process. I guess whatever you put into online learning, you will get out.
