I think online teaching has advantages and disadvantages just like it every situation, event, or issue. But one of the biggest concerns is self motivation. Will students be motivated to get up in the middle of the day or night and complete their assignments, will they put in the extra effort, and produce a quality assignment,or will they rush through the assignment trying to beat the clock on the computer. Yes, you have the freedom to do your work in the pleasure of your own home, but what if the student has a question about their assignment their is no face to face interaction with the instructor and student. I enjoy the flexiblity of online but I am a traditional student and I need face to face discussion, because their is a difference from when someone speaks to you and when you read the material. The question is which one will you remember more.
