  Online learning

  • the digital campus cannot fully replicate the traditional environment
  • even with the digital divide, online education increases access to many people who otherwise would not be able to go to a universit
  • when possible, look more seriously at distributed (or blended) learning, which is a blending of traditional and distance technologies. R
  • highly unlikely that the best classroom practice can be replicated online, but it is equally unlikely that these best practices can be widely replicated in the traditional classroom either.
  • the comparison between traditional and online learning is at best problematic, especially when we recognize that virtually all of the education research outside of that which focuses on the online classroom tends to be fairly critical of the quality of instruction in the traditional classroom

  • need not look far to find that the fetishism of this traditional classroom is merely an unfounded rumor.

  • Through the lens of poststructuralism, we can recognize the search for a reified "best of" as a demonstration of the metaphysics of presence, a search for a transcendental signified.
