I know this is an old topic, but it seems to keep resurrecting, so I'm adding my 2 cents. My employment took me to overseas assignments and doing course work in a remote, on-line setting was a necessity. It started with me studying for the CPA exam and then continued with my M.P.A. graduate program while duty stationed in Germany. As a retiree, on-line resources offer me the flexibility I need so that I may continue to enjoy travel and family, as well as accommodating special health related needs that come up without the stress of missing scheduled face to face classes. I sometimes prefer face to face because I believe eye contact, facial expression, voice tenor and tone all contribute to the quality of communication. I think we also benefit face to face in building confidence and learning how to speak without offending. That being said, the internet has certainly opened various educational pursuits to a wide population who would otherwise miss out And, the benefits of cross-cultural dialogue, even in a virtual classroom, is so important in a global society. So, I am forever grateful for the advent of the Internet and education, and the wonderful teachers who support our desire for continuing education.
