ResponderEliminarWe might think that distance education promotes learner autonomy but I would argue that in fact it demands it because it is expected that the student already be autonomous.
Well, I agreed with you, also the part you said is better to married people makes me laugh; but you are right this type of education can help those kind of people that you said, because they feel comfort and on his own rhythm to learn
ResponderEliminarI believe that you pointed one very important facts of online education. You pointed its freedom and comfort and I beelieve those are the most important ones to remember because a student will be interested in that. Finally, I think you metioned something important. A student will become authonomous by taking online courses but if he does not have it before he will have problems at the beggining.
