Online classes benefit learners in their asynchronity. I can take this class at any time of day, learning when my brain is most suited to it. I take it during the morning hours because that is when my ADHD medication is most effective. By about 5 PM, it will have worn off and I will be much less productive.

People think that online classes are the future because they are free and more accessible. Professor Gernsbacher's article implies that online learning is more effective for students. However, this has been the experience of exactly no one I've ever spoken to. I find Professor Gernsbacher's course to be very biased towards her beliefs.

Traditional lectures don't engage students in the same way that online classes can. Online classes can also be cheaper, have less time commitment (no commute), and can be taken at the time that best suits each individual student's cognition.

A meta-analysis from the Department of Education found that, across subjects, students performed better on online classes. Further, this held true for all different learner types.
Unit 3, Post 3
Students perform better on online courses, especially online courses in which the students collaborate with each other or are directed by their instructor. When you sit a student down in front of a computer to do their coursework, if they are just told to learn about something, it won't be as successful as if they are guided.

There are a number of guidelines for emailing professors that we covered this unit. All of them were things that I (and every college student I spoke with) already knew, such as using your school email.

When surveying people over the internet vs. over the phone, you get different answers. People are more honest over the internet when there isn't a person on the other end that they feel is judging them.
