Educator sees great potential in online learning - Honolulu Star Bulletin
Steve Baxendale directs the PRELStar program at Pacific Resources for Education and Learning - Is online education ever an ideal solution, or is it just a good alternative when logistics make face-to-face classroom time impractical? I hesitate to answer that because it may be a solution for some students in some situations. For some students, it works very well. It depends on their interests. It can work for students who are self-motivated learners and are involved in real-world work, for instance student athletes. If you're training for the Olympics, you're training six or eight hours and day and you're going to meets. It's great for them, or for actors, or young people with other kinds of work. It also might work well for students with illnesses or physical disabilities. And I can see it for regular students, again it depends on the individual.
