I read an article this week about how distance ed is just as effective as face to face learning. . . on average. They did find that mathematics (and other sciences) are more effective in a face to face environment. I couldn't agree more. I can not begin to express the need for interaction between teacher and student in a mathematics course. Especially if you struggle. I know math does not come naturally to many people.
I have been very successful in many online courses, but I always knew I needed math face to face. The article confirmed my notion that math is better in person. Hopefully that means my job is secure :)
