I am skeptical that distance education based on asynchronous Internet technologies (i.e., prerecorded video, online forums, and email) is a substitute for live classroom discussion and other on-campus interaction. Distance education students can't raise their hands to ask instructors questions or participate in discussions, and it's difficult or impossible for them to take advantage of faculty office hours. Teaching assistants don't always respond to email, and online class discussion boards can be neglected by students and faculty alike. In this sense, the "process of dialogue" is actually limited by technology.

Online learning has undoubtedly given so many professionals the opportunity to learn while they work.

My hope is to see such institutions look far ahead and implement very good policies to help online learners achieve their goals.

I think Ghana is not ready for online learning now since access to internet is huge problem for most students. It costs so much that it will be very difficult to get many students to do online programs in the country.

Those who thrive on the social aspects of the classroom might find online learning a challenge.
