E-learning is going some way to improving schooling relations between pupils and teachers once a transition between the classroom and online is made, according to one commentator from the US. Rebecca Wardlow, educator at Ashford University in San Diego, shared her opinion on Sign On San Diego and mentioned that online learning stimulates more student-teacher interaction and creates new efficiencies in an era of severe budget constraints. Ms Wardlow said: “The initial impression may be that an online class won’t be as rigorous as one in a traditional classroom. Actually, online learning can be more rigorous. There is no credit for attendance. Students only get credit for the quality of the work submitted – no hiding in the back of the classroom.” Results of a US nationwide survey, Speak Up, show that the number of students using e-learning facilities doubled in 2010.
