At San Diego State, students have the option to take online classes. After a computer readiness survey, students are able to complete course work at their own pace in any location with Internet connection. “It requires much more self-discipline and responsibility because you have assignments and due dates, but no face-to-face meeting time for the teacher or fellow students to remind you,” SDSU senior Kevin Kaderabek said. Kelly Lane, who teaches contemporary nutrition online, disagrees. “If you can get past the first hurdle of setting up the class, anyone can succeed,” Lane said. With teaching experience in both online and traditional courses, Lane does not see a relationship between a specific type of learner and success in an online class. “The lectures are the same, the tests are the same and the activities are very similar,” she said.
