Pros and Cons of Online Learning

El Mansour, Bassou, and Davison M. Mupinga. "Students' positive and negative experiences in hybrid and online classes." College Student Journal 41.1 (2007): 242+. Educator's Reference Complete. Web. 13 Feb. 2011.

This is a qualitative study exploring the positive and negative experiences of students taking online classes. This article also delves into the characteristics of online learning and what instructors can do to improve the student experience. The study seeks to prove that since students learn in a variety of different ways, the traditional classroom style is not right for every student. The article compares the differences between the traditional face to face classroom style and the online style. Students were presented information both online and face to face and data was collected to describe their experiences.
