The article we were assigned to read was written and researched by Kyong-Jee Kim and Curtis J. Bonk. In this article, it talked about how different instructors and administrators in post secondary institutions were surveyed in a study. They did this to observe the trends in online education. The study includes predictors toward the changing roles of online instructors, student expectations, and needs dealing with online learning, pedagogical innovation, and projected technology use in the courses. They used a scientific method and researched them first and then made a survey to collect more data. The information was put into different types of graphs and charts with explanations of what was found. A conclusion is included along with a discussion section.
I agree with the author's of the article because I have taken a couple of on-line courses and there really wasn't too much work to be done. We were always able to use the book on tests and quizzes and the homework assignments were simple. I really don't have an opinion on the results but to say they seem so true. I honestly think that more people will try to do on-line learning, but it will eventually get shut out because the teachers in classrooms will feel neglected.
