My Own Myths

This assignment seemed to shed some light on the myths that people have about online learning. Personally i dont knock anything until i've tried it and that was my approach to omline learning and plus i really wanted to graduate faster, and in order for me to do that i had to take online classes. I guess my initial thought was that it was going to be easier, however my take on that, is that it depends on the professor and how enthused they are about the class. I have taken online classes that i only had to log on once a week for the tests and that was it, we did not have discussion forums and interactive activities to facilitate our learning. I have also taken classes where all facets of online learning is utilized. Another myth that i believed was that with online learning you get all the time in the world to get things done especially because the student paces him or herself, sadly i was mistaken. I quickly realized that there were still deadlines just as in the traditional classroom, and infact you get less time to work on material for the class. I think that with discipline and hardwork, online learning is not something to be feared or underestimated.
