What is your opinion of online education?

I took Pen Foster online and seemed to do better working on my own then I did at school. So I think it is great myself.

I think the idea of online college is excellent, provided you're doing accredited courses. Some of the stuff on the net really isn't worth anything as a qualification. It's a realy pity. Eventually I think the inevitable thing will happen. Online education is much better economics. Better use of time, better use of resources, there's a lot to be said for the whole concept. It also saves educational institutions a lot of money in providing physical facilities, and the related overheads. Given the rampaging cost of education these days (At the rate we're going in Australia we may possibly be able to take our doctors out of their glass cases and dust them occasionally.) it's pretty clear that online will be the way it's done in future. I just wish it would hurry up.

I think online education is a great idea for people who are older and don't feel comfortable going to college with younger people. I have thought about taking some online courses myself.

I love online classes. My schedule prevents me from attending classes on campus. I can easily fit online classes into my schedule at night. I know that the interaction between other students are great but I am willing to forgo that part.
