    No Credibility, No Clue!

    In his 2011 article, “Reliance on Online Materials Hinders Learning Potential for Students,” David Smith attempts to build upon student’s obligated online interaction to make a case against online classes. Smith first shows how much today’s learners must use online materials by using the example of his own Alma Mater. By referencing his own experience at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln, with MyRED and EBSCO search engine, Smith lays the grounds for the focus of his argument. He then attempts to use what seem to be personal examples of experience with online coursework while begging the question through repeated examples. By failing to establish the credibility of his facts, attempting to force his own authority over the subject, and poorly organizing his thoughts, Smith fails to create a strong and compelling argument against online classes and the internet as a resource.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Non-Traditional Students

    The online (non-traditional) student is often challenged with issues that the traditional (campus-based) student is not; also, the online instructor does not realize the constraints placed upon the online student. Online students are a diverse group of learners from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Rovai (2002) stated certain characteristics could affect student persistence. An example of this is minority students feeling isolated in online courses. Online learners are also classified as independent, self-directed, autonomous, and internally motivated. They typically are 22-50 years of age, unable to enroll in campus-based classes due to other roles and responsibilities, and are lifelong learners (Diaz & Bontenbal as…

    Characteristics of Successful Online Students

    In an article penned by Mark Taormino, President or Learning Development Partners, Inc., of Las Vegas, Nevada, he states that “matching student learning preferences with appropriate learning opportunities is of high importance. Some students might not enjoy a high level of reliance on technology mediated instruction and communication, which could lead to a decision to pursue a more traditional education delivery path.” Indeed, it is very likely that the path of online learning may not actually accomplish true learning for every type of student, and unfortunately not every individual who seeks out an education via distance learning is aware of this possibility before they begin their journey.…
