From Chalkboards to Chatboards

I suppose I am old fashioned because eLearning, to me, sounds like a horrible idea. I do not believe in a hybrid classroom. I believe it is the teachers job to teach and that sending students home to be taught online and then only facilitating group experiences is not what "teaching" really is. Also, students spend about seven hours in school, to require them to then go home and spend another AT LEAST half an hour per class to learn the material is just requiring too much of them. Also, I do not like eLearning, myself. I can not sit at a computer and watch videos and play games for extended periods of time. I would much rather be interacting with people face-to-face. The only benefit I see with eLearning would be the decreased price. I would love to only pay $7,000 to get a degree. However, I do not think this method will ever take the place of a traditional classroom. If it does, I hope it is after I retire.
