Good for you.
I am not against online education. There just have to be fail safes in place, just like on roller coasters.
Not every professor is meant to be an online educator. Not every student is meant to be an online student. Not every class is meant to be an online class.
Not every class is meant to be an in person class. I took a medical terminology class via online learning. I cannot imagine a better class suited for the online format and a worse class suited for a traditional format.
We had to take our final exam at the testing center under supervisor.
You are very correct. One of my classes was lab oriented. I needed to be there at each lab table. The students made all the typical mistakes and we worked out how to resolve them together. I could imagine some part being online, (especially with good graphics) but not everything.
I took MBA courses on line. I worked out well. The resources to check everything were also on line as well as company reports and real world recaps of events. We all communicated in paragraphs over the internet and it was not necessary to have in class discussions — which probably would have been good for the class if they were managed well.
I particularly liked the final exam under a supervisor. As I said earlier, students can take a photo of an exam question, look up the answer during a rest room break, and give the correct answer to the class with a single click.
I favor a zero fail for cheating.
