Online classes don't offer the same immediate and regular access to instructors and classmates as traditional face-to-face classes. The communication typically takes place through e-mail and in virtual discussion forums. While this can aid in learning technology, it negatively impacts a student's ability to interact with professors, ask questions and get immediate help. It also takes away from some of the social and team-building that occurs informally in college classrooms.

The cons of online courses seem to be greater than the benefits of an on campus course, in this case the advance of technology is hurting the education of the students rather than making an improvement for them.
