What are the disadvantages of “Distance Learning?”

Self-motivation is a must – m

Lack of human interactio

Each week students played one of three roles. 1) Staters introduced one or more ideas by stating something important they learned from a reading, discussing what was the most difficult or confusing part of the reading[1] and raising new sociological questions that the reading suggested. 2)  Responders replied to the ideas already posted and then posed further sociological questions.  3)  Integrators combined and synthesized the readings, what others had said that week in seminar and their postings, and raised additional sociological questions.  (See Appendix A for a copy of the instructions given to students).

Ethnicity and Online Learning

Gender and Online Learning

For introverts these online learning benefits include: Ability to take time to think about what to write in discussions Not forced to interact with people with whom they feel uncomfortable Ability to take stances on subjects that might otherwise intimidate them in person For extroverts these online learning benefits include: Ability to hit the backspace key or delete button if needed Ability to interact within chat rooms and discussion areas to connect with other students Ability to showcase knowledge through the use of multimedia presentations

Mixing social activities with reflective time gives these learners the chance to decompress and process the information. With too much stimulation, they easily become overwhelmed and shut down.

Extroverted students verbally answer every question, participate in group discussions and thrive at oral reports. They often get in trouble because they talk before they think or when they should be listening. On the other hand, introverted students enjoy solo or small group projects. They often write clear essays and rarely volunteer to answer questions in class.
