Tell us what you think about the possibility of taking courses online. What are the trade-offs between this approach to education and an experience complete with classrooms and in-person interactions? What are the benefits and drawbacks? Have you ever taken an online course or used an instructional video like those from Vi Hart or Khan Academy? If so, what did you think? Can you see video and online instruction replacing traditional classes? Do you think it is the wave of the future?

     The possibility of taking courses online can be very rare in my case. sitting at a computer learning about a major instead of learning in class. Do you learn more in class or online? i don't think you can learn that much online about major subjects online. The reason for this being is how much can u actually learn online more then in class, where can you go for question? what about more information ?. In person interaction is the way to go. Because you have that person that knows everything they suppose to know right there in front of you , can actually be a reliability source.

 The drawbacks for online education can be you wont get the job that you wont or work were you wanna work. There may be thing that the online didn't teach you if you was in, in person interaction. having a learning experience is way better then something you just learn online or haven't did for example or practice. The benefits is you probably got what you want , maybe get you degree in the education you took you online classes from. but again who would want someone working for them that only took online classes.
   
I cannot see video and online instruction replacing traditional class because that just making it easier for our generation. And it not fare to those adults that actually went to college and have a degree for any type of course to be sitting around letting a computer teach students. if that's the case mind as well college and university shouldn't be available. People might not agree with me but my opinion is traditional class is the way to go,but also i never took online courses so i wouldn't know. Online instruction is not the wave of the future to me its booty.
