Student comments:“In classrooms, there are those too shy to talk and those too confident to stop talking. The online forum just deals with the problem and gave everyone an equal chance in expressing our opinion about the topic.”



Student comments:“I love that you can log in the system and do the work anytime you want. An online class brings people together who don’t often get the chance to exchange ideas.”



Student comments:“I think the best aspect of learning online is that you can take your time. An online course gives students enough time to think and research as we respond to other students.”
