For many of my students, they feel that on-line learning is a free pass to to school when they want to, not when they have to. I find that they procrastinate on their discussions and assignments for the class because they dont have a physical instructor in front of them. If they dont log on to the class then they dont have to see the posts that their instructor says to them about their assignments. "Out of sight out of mind" or " I will get to it later" is what I hear. Sometimes I think that they feel that that they are on-line learners and they are not. Some people need to be in the classroom and dont really get much out of on-line learning because they are more visual and auditory learners. I think we need to keep that in mind that online learning is not a "one size fits all".
