I love the concept of online education.

When I got my bachelor’s degree, online education wasn’t as socially accepted as it is now.  (Granted, it still has a ways to go, but now traditional colleges are offering 100 percent online degrees, which I take as a sign that people are viewing online education with less skepticism than they were before.)  Still, I took as many online classes as I possibly could, which turned out to be at least one, but sometimes two per semester.

Online education benefits are obvious, even to someone who only takes an online class here and there.  With one or two of my four classes every semester being online, I had an easier time scheduling my on-campus classes.  Just imagine how easy it would have been if

Virtual classrooms are also becoming easier to navigate, as the online education movement picks up speed I guess — or maybe the improved virtual classroom technology is helping the movement to pick up speed, I don’t know.  In any case, online education participants are finding it easier and easier to participate in class discussions, read syllabi, get class assignments, and communicate with their instructors.

Online education really is the way of the future!
