Can you give us more information such as the age of the students and what
you define as "advantage"?
I am studying for my third masters, all of which have been done online, as
well as having been involved in the Your School Library online conferences.
As an adult in Australia, the online scenario suits me because time and
distance are overcome and I am experienced in the online environment. But
there are many for whom this is new and who are struggling with the lack of
face-to-face contact to really tease out ideas in real time and all that
that offers.
Or are you talking about elementary or secondary students? There are
hundreds of Australian students who do all their primary education online
through the School of the Air http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_of_the_Air
successfully. And there are proposals for senior secondary schools in the
Australian Capital Territory (like Washington, DC) to amalgamate online to
offer students access to subjects not available at their college because of
the lack of numbers.
Arguments can be put for and against, as no doubt you have discovered, but
if you are wanting our experiences we need more information.

Subject: [LM_NET] Physical Classroom vs. Virtual Classroom
Hello All;
I am doing research for a Lit Review on Physical Classrooms vs. Virtual
Classrooms. I know there is a lot of material out there that has different
thoughts on the subject. What I am asking from the ListServ is; What are
your thoughts on the subject? Do you think students who sit in a classroom
100% have an advantage over those who attend class 100% online. Keeping in
mind that the time spent in both environment is equal.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
