Many of the non-verbal communication mechanisms that instructors use in determining whether students are having problems (confusion, frustration, boredom, absence, etc.) are not possible in the online paradigm. If a student is experiencing difficulty on any level (either with the technology or with the course content), he or she must communicate this immediately. Otherwise the instructor will never know what is wrong.
-
The most recent distance technology, the Internet, adds an interactive component not possible with the other technologies - collaborative communication over a prolonged period of time. Traditionally, distance education has been primarily between the instructor and the student, and there has been little or no opportunity for interaction among students. However, the Internet changes this because it allows learners to communicate with each other either through synchronous or asynchronous communication.†Students are able to read and respond to all correspondence, thereby learning from each other as much as from the instructor. This changes the roles of the instructor and the student, and the instructor becomes more of a facilitator of learning and the student becomes more of an active participant in, and more in control of, the learning process.

Jen Pfeffer-DittesThis web page lists successful online learner requirements for the University of Oklahoma. It is very thorough and the explanations of each of the requirements would be helpful for someone trying to help students/learners understand the type of student best fitted for online learning.

Another clear advantage of asynchronous communication is that it allows students more time to think about questions posed, thus promotes higher quality responses.
-
This forum for communication eliminates the visual barriers that hinder some individuals in expressing themselves.

The communication medium is a computer, phone line, and modem; the student must have access to the necessary equipment.

Synchronous versus Asynchronous Learning:
Some forms of distance technology, such as radio, telephone, television, satellite, and Internet-based chats are synchronous, meaning that the student(s) and the instructor are communicating together at the same moment in time - sometimes called "real time." These technologies are time-bound requiring participants to all "meet" at the same time, although not the same place. Advantages include:
-
responses.

Asynchronous communication and learning refers to communication between two or more people that does not take place during real time. For example, an instructor may post a question on a discussion board, and students may post their responses at various times. However, the postings are online for the instructor and other students to view and respond to at any time. Asynchronous learning has many advantages as well. These include the ability for students to correspond, regardless of time zone. For example, students who are living on military base in Germany may read and respond to questions and comments, regardless of the time zone difference between the US and Germany. Another clear advantage of asynchronous communication is that it allows students more time to think about questions posed, thus promotes higher quality responses.
