Dismissal of online learning still a thing?

[Tedium]

Wow, man, I thought we were passed all of that by now seeing as it's current year and all. Guess not.

I'll bite.

The deciding variable in that question is the learner. If the learner is an inferior student and person who just manages to skirt through by the skin of their teeth, the work they produce will be terrible. Simple as that. Learning styles are individualized and different with each person, so one may do well in one setting and terrible in another. For example I am the manager of a profitable hotel. I produce good work and inspire my team to do the same. I only have my G.E.D. There are some slick, newly minted business admin. and hospitality management butt in seat graduates who don't even last six months at their new positions. Does that tell us anything about the difference between online and in-person education? No, it just means some people aren't cut out for the hospitality business.

You aren't going to find the answer in broad strokes and prescriptions. It's all about the individual and what they choose to accomplish with what they have.
