Introduction to Online Learning
 
1: Overview
 
The World Wide Web, since its inception, has intrigued and inspired educators to examine the Web’s educational benefits for their courses and programs. Online learning has stepped to the forefront as one of the most promising opportunities for educators. By developing and utilizing an online course supplement or a totally online course, an instructor can engage, facilitate, and instruct students outside of the traditional classroom. But, you wonder, what does research say about online learning? How is online learning different from the traditional approach? How is it similar?
