According to a Columbia University study, students do not choose to take online courses for “a superior learning experience” and instead most students take what they consider “easy” online classes. “There is actually a lot more that goes into designing, structuring and making everything very clear and laid out in the online class compared to the face-to-face class. You can have more flexibility in the face-to face classroom to modify things on the fly and adapt to your students’ immediate responses as you’re lecturing or as you’re presenting materials,” said Molly Ott, assistant professor in the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College and coordinator of the Higher and Postsecondary Education program.
