I like the way oral presentations were discussed in the paper. Oral discussions are a big part of online learning as well. I also like how negative aspects of online learning were added such as the advantages/disadvantages of syc. and asych. Communication, and the feeling of alienation in online courses. I did notice a difference in font size towards the end, but overall..great paper.

Chih,

Yes, I do agree that oral discussions are very challenging in online environments. I was thinking about how oral discussions within group members make it easier to accomplish group projects and group meetings as opposed to live chats, or through threaded discussions, or emails.

I thought we did a good job organizing our argument and had relevant resources to back it up. We described online learning and the elements that make up online learning. We followed the APA guidelines, and organized out paper with headings and subheadings.

If someone who didn't know what online learning contained or Web 2.0 tools and read your paper they would know by the end of your paper what it takes and what is incorporated with an online learning environment. I feel your group did a great deal of research and provided a good number of references and resources. Good job group 3!

Very well written treatise! I was hooked with the introductory quote you added. I thought you added a lot of information about online learning. It was clear and too the point. I particularly liked the section on stakeholders and how strong instructors are needed. I do think the second section needed more outside resources .

I really like how you included some history in your paper, it made the reader compare and contrast technology and education then and now, great special touch! I think your paper had some really good quotes included and great resources. Also, reading your paper made the reader feel at ease and it was like you were reading the readers mind, you would mention a term related to technology but included the definition for the reader nice touch to throw in you never know the technological knowledge of your reader. Your group did a great job!

I thought the argument was presented well. I had a good description on what online learning is and understood what tools make online learning effective; however I think other resources could have been used to support your argument.

I really like your great description of the different situations that might cause adult learners to seek a degree other than a face to face class. All of your reasons and description of online learners were great. I also like how you talked about the different types of learning environments especially how you brought in creativity, that is a key point and what inspires a lot of adult learners to participate in an online learning environment is that it brings out the learners creativity.
