COMMUNICATIONS THEORY

What I have noticed in regards to online education is it is a different approach to how one can gain an education and still keep up with their busy lifestyle. In a way there is a difference between the way one can educate themselves in a class room vs an online approach. Personally, when I was in a program that required me to attend classes some were too early, and some were too boring. With the advantage of technology and being able to complete your courses online you are able to teach yourself and complete the course at your own pace. The disadvantage I have noticed with online education is one enrolls in an online degree program to complete their degree due to a full time job, or other responsibilities. When the professor hands out weekly deadlines that do not fit with one’s schedule it is very hard to achieve the mark that one would want. The difference with online due to the way technology is mediated is there is no face to face interaction; there are other ways to interact such as email. You do not need to hold a meeting when trying to complete a group project, the disadvantage with this is communication is not always constant; you are always waiting for the other person to respond through email. Due to the improvement in technology email can be delivered right to one’s cell phone so the waiting game is not too long. The differences in the education that you are receiving through online courses is very different to one learning the same thing in a classroom, due to you are trying to teach yourself the program. In a way online education can have its positives and negatives, positive in a way that you can complete assignments on your own time, and you can still keep a fulltime job while trying to gain an education, and negative in a way that if you are not dedicated and cannot take the time to learn the material and teach yourself online education is not for you.
QUESTION 1
The writer of the attached 1, suggests that in the on-line classroom you teach yourself. Is this the case? What drives this perception? What does this suggest about the “feeling” that happens in a face-to-face classroom?
How does learning actually take place? What goes on inside the brain that leads to learning and why might it feel different in the on-line vs. the face-to-face environment?
