College online, will the buildings with all the classrooms become obsolete probably not, but the way the world turns and the way things change from year to year makes anything possible. Most co-workers or friends i know say they attend college online I cannot think of any one that actually goes to a college building to attend class. As for me working full time, raising a child, online courses give me flexibility and the ability to stay at home allowing me to reach my goal in getting a college degree. I will be honest that on a very personal level at the age of 52 years the thought of walking into a class room full of much younger students would probably intimidate me greatly. For the most part I enjoy the way online courses are structured with live seminars and step by step units per week the only thing I can think of that I would like to see more of would be examples to go along with each unit. Take a class in nutrition you are asked to do a nutritional assessment since I have never seen one much less written one I have no clue where to start or how it should look in written form but if there was an example for reference that would help. At times you can feel overwhelmed but that can be with anything in life, without programs like Kaplan University I would not have the opportunity to get a college degree so for that alone I am grateful for online courses.
