3. The author explains the theoretical frame I am using for my essay. The article tells us the three components required in order for online learning to be a proper form of education. These three components are teaching presence, social presence, and cognitive presence.

4. The author has a doctor of philosophy degree in education technology making her a credible source when looking to classify how online learning works

5. The first key term is cognitive presence: this is when students are able to reflect upon their own ideas by exchanging ideas and communicating with others. The next key term is teaching presence: this is when students are able to communicate effectively and feel comfortable in their learning environment [to communicate with others].

"A major goal of the work was to provide a foundation for pre-service teachers in two countries to engage in critical discourse leading to a deeper understanding of diversity and inclusion"

"new technologies demand that educators re-think the nature of their work and the forms of collaboration and communication"

"flexible frameworks that we can use to structure understanding-focused learning activities that help students make powerful, worthwhile use of online tools and resources"

7. This article will help me articulate more about my theoretical frame. It will help me identify the components needed for online education to be considered efficient. It will also help me advocate for the need of collaboration nd communication in online education.

  This image represents the differences in the viewpoint of online learning. Most students believe that online learning is just as efficient as traditional classroom learning when it comes to communication between them and their educators. Most educators also believe that online learning is just as good as traditional classroom learning. However, when it comes to whether students believe that they actually learn better in an online setting than a classroom setting, the number of students is low (26%). This further reinforces the point made in my paper (an online environment for learning is too comfortable for students which interferes with their ability to learn properly).

Research Question and 3 Sources

As the Corona Virus had begun to unfold across the world and had eventually reached America, colleges were forced to make a decision about keeping their colleges open or transitioning to online college. Keeping the campuses open could put both students and staff at risk of getting the virus. Transitioning to an online atmosphere could hinder the college staff’s ability to effectively communicate ideas to students while also hindering students’ ability to learn. Should colleges choose to keep their campuses open or closed during this pandemic? What consequences does each choice have on colleges, staff, and students (and family)? 1. Heo, J., Han, S.

  Abstract Online learning is arguably one of the best assets to come to education from the effects of COVID-19. The potential of online education goes hand-in-hand with the potential of technology and what it has to offer to students. Although colleges are using online education to improve their facets for teaching, they are still lacking in many aspects of a college education. Colleges are not able to replicate the in-person aspect of college education in an online setting; therefore, many students are left feeling less motivated about continuing college education. There is a decline in student retention rates, but colleges still choose to focus on expanding their pedagogy. One of the ways colleges can expand their improving student collaboration with other students and teachers.
