hands on on line
i find that real world experiences of the instructor help make the course content more immediate and realistic in an online situation.
brian,
Many online instructors will have "office hours" so that students will know when they can get a question responded to immediately.

I agree. With the instuctor, you could ask questions and get a quicker response to your question.
Two people can read the same email and read it differently....very good point.
Real world experiences through on-line must be controlled very carefully as they are open to interpertation. As we all know, the context in which we write is not always delivered in the context in which we mean. This can lead to serious discussion misunderstanding during chat's, forumns or other type of written communications.
Yes indeed...personal experience makes the book information become real.
