I could not have said this any better!! "... In the past, online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom. But going forward, interactions will be key. Just as people engage in online interactions-around virtual sports teams, cooking, or whatever-students will be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom" My previous online classes I felt really alone. There was no collaboration except for group assignment. We all had a name but no identity. However, in today's learning environment, online learning is anything but boring and lonely. There are endless ways to connect. Being able to connect with classmates/peers and share information can be very rewarding. .
