Over the next few weeks, we’re going to talk about recent trends in education. Specifically, we’ll discuss how many universities have started letting students take classes from home instead of taking them in person on campus. I want to know what you think about this issue, so here’s a quick question for the discussion board:

“What do you think is the most significant impact of online classes? Why do you think it has this impact?”

The main thing is that online classes make education more accessible. For one, they can help reduce commuting time and costs, and it allows students to have more flexibility in their schedules. Plus, online learning can be more accessible for students who have disabilities or live far away from campus. Traditionally, high costs have prevented many people from pursuing an education, but thanks to online classes cost is less of a problem.

I think that online classes cause people to learn less than before. There’s something to be said for the energy and engagement that comes from being in the same physical space as your classmates and instructor. Moreover, when we take classes in person it is easier to build relationships and collaborate effectively. We learn just as much from these sorts of relationships as we do from our actual lectures and textbooks.

  • I view online classes as having a negative impact on our education system, a stance that aligns with Emily's observation of diminished learning outcomes. I further contend that online education may fail to offer students the same level of access to physical resources, such as libraries, laboratories, and other campus facilities. This lack of access can hinder students' ability to engage in hands-on learning and acquire practical experience, essential elements of certain academic disciplines.

     

    While Jack noted the increased accessibility provided by online classes, he overlooked the fact that, although online education may lower some barriers, it simultaneously erects others. Specifically, online learning presupposes that all students have access to stable internet service and a computer or another device compatible with required software. Unfortunately, this assumption does not hold true for all students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds or residing in rural areas.

     

    In summary, I believe that online classes compromise learning outcomes when compared to traditional face-to-face instruction.
