Presentations: Online Education

I think I was most intrigued by Stephanie's presentation on online education. I never realized how quickly times are changing. I've always just taken for granted that new and improved techniques for research are coming out. I never really thought about the consequences of this such as encyclopedias being thrown out.
My high school never really used online education but my community college did. When my mom attended the community college one of her classes was online and I always thought that it would be so much easier to do an online class. You didn't need to leave your house, you could use other sources for the quizzes/tests but I didn't think about the downsides. Part of the college eperience is going to class and meeting new people. I think that online sites for classes are useful to check your grades or do homework but when it comes to online classes, I think I would rather attend class.
I think your presentation was very interesting and you asked a lot of questions that got me thinking. Keep up the good work!
