I have read a good deal of traffic on the pros and cons of online learning over the past two years. There are those that feel that such learning lacks value, and for those people that believe this: you are ignoring the future.
As we move forward into an increasingly virtual world, we must accept that all aspects of life will need to evolve to this future. Online learning is not a new concept, and it allows us to bridge the gap that separates so many people of the world. By having this technology, it allows education to reach those that may not be able to participate through traditional methods.
It is important to fill our classrooms with as much diversity as we can, and if one thing is certain about the online environment is that it is diverse. This can be a threat to many people. Education has always been a bit elitist in its form. These barriers must be broken down in order for us to create a more culturally understanding world.
For those who feel that an online education lacks the value of a traditional education- you will be lonely in your future.
