This article entitled Reflections of Students in Their Use of Asynchronous Online Seminars is a study on the reflections of students taking online classes and how much they did or did not like them. It also examines to what extent a student actually learns compared to traditional classes with face-to-face interactions. The study showed that students actually learned just as much if not more than they would in a traditional classroom. The article states, "A key reason for the use of technology within a learning situation is to enhance the quality of learning and teaching." I agree with this. I have taken many online classes, including this one, and I really like them. I think it allows a student to still have the opportunity to learn and better themselves but without having to go sit in a classroom. I also think that it makes you a better student. This being the case because although you dont have to go to a classroom, you still have deadlines you have to meet. It makes the student stay on top of things and be a responsible student. Online classes have many pros and cons. But, overall I believe that taking an online class makes you a more rounded student because it makes you a more rounded student being that you have to stay on top of not only going to class, but also completing your online work.
