Janet:
Motivation, commitment, well designed courses etc are all contributing factors to successful online learning. I agree with you to the extent that theory-based courses can be effectively taught online; however,courses,the outcomes of which are perfromance-based cannot be completely taught successfully in an online environment. Reflect on how effective an online course on certain culinary arts can be; and how effectively we can evaluate students' performance on such skills in an online environment.
