Though the quality of online schooling options is expanding, it still may have its drawbacks, however. Today’s post, written by Linda Zabriske of <a href="http://www.onlinegraduateprograms.com" target="_blank">www.onlinegraduateprograms.com</a>, will tackle this hot topic. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p>----------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><div><b><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Buyer Beware: The Drawbacks of an Online Education Programs</span><br /> <span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Like it or not, online learning, including </span><a href="http://www.onlinegraduateprograms.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17,85,204); font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">masters and doctorates through distance learning</span></a><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> as well as supplementary certification programs, are becoming more and more popular choice for all student demographics. But many hypothesize that this rapid growth in popularity may not entirely beneficial to American society and the future of the American education system. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Online colleges enable students to potentially receive higher education at a cheaper rate and from a more convenient location, their home. However, there is a significant trade-off at play here that has become a cyst on the reputation of online colleges: the students themselves. Studies have shown that students from online colleges have a lower graduation rate and are less likely to succeed in finding a job than students from brick-and-mortar colleges.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The reasons for this are explored in the study </span><a href="http://www.infrastruction.com/barriers.htm" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17,85,204); font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline;">Barriers to Learning in Distance Education</span></a><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. The author, Jill M. Galusha, explains that “the term distance learning has been applied to many instructional methods: however, its primary distinction is that the teacher and the learner are separate in space and possibly time.” The lack of physical presence of professors, lecturers, classmates and the general air of a college campus appears to be the most dire of problems for those taking online classes. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The negative effects of this dichotomy between online college graduates and regular college graduates can be seen and, indeed, is well-documented. In his article </span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Distance Learning: </span><a href="http://www.westga.edu/%7Edistance/ojdla/fall53/valentine53.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17,85,204); font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline;">Promises, Problems, and Possibilities</span></a><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, </span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Doug Valentine examines online colleges’ deleterious effects on society. He writes, “[P]roblems include the quality of instruction, hidden costs, misuse of technology, and the attitudes of instructors, students, and administrators. Each one of these has an effect on the overall quality of distance learning as a product.” The barriers facing graduates from online colleges with a poor reputation are simple: employers generally don’t respect online colleges. Given the choice between two business graduates, one from a regular college and the other from an online college, most employers will prefer the former, simply because it is implied that the student has received a more rigorous college education. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">However, there is a silver lining to these problems: the increasing enrollment of students into online colleges. The author of the previous study also writes, “Despite the need for improvement, the future of distance learning seems bright. Increasing numbers of students enrolling in distance learning classes underscore the need for comprehensive and thoughtful evolution of distance education if it is to become the educational model of the future.” This means that in order to accommodate the growing number of online college students, everyone, including the ones who operate online colleges for profit, will make more of an effort to fix many of the problems of online colleges. </span><br /> <span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In the meantime, one solution that would help everyone is to blend online and regular colleges. One popular form of this endeavor is to offer distance learning classes at each brick-and-mortar college.
