...Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children and not for the education of all adults of every age? (Erich Fromm) Without continual growth and progress, then improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. Success requires hard work, dedication, and the determination to self-satisfy the need to become the best individual anyone could be. While direct and indirect learning are seen as effective solutions to gaining higher education, they differ in social interaction, hands-on learning, and organized scheduling. Many online and traditional students still work as professionals with full-time jobs. They’re parents with the responsibility of taking care of a family, live in the country or isolated counties, or happen to be retirees attempting to further their education or aspiring students who simply cannot afford to make the transition to attend college classes on campus so the online setting is the closest form of traditional education virtually possible for them to pursue a higher form of education. To make this determination, it is important to first evaluate whether or not patience, means and ability to pursue a degree of choice from a traditional institution as opposed to an online setting is possible. The computer-generated classroom is a key contributor to the educational community, causing establishments to begin practicing the same online prototypical as a form of training technical specialists in both private and public universities...

...Traditional On Campus Class Welcome to the Traditional On Campus version of Speech 103 Oral Communication! I look forward to getting to know each of you. Over the years, I have learned that many of you dread taking this class (don’t worry I felt the same way when I had to take this class) but I hope that you will find your worries to be unfounded. I work very hard to try to create a comfortable learning environment, primarily because I need you to participate in order for this class to work. This is a participatory-based class where we will all work together to help each other improve our communication skills. Consequently, you will play an active role in your own learning as well as active role in the learning of the other students in this class. Research has shown that when you are an active participant in a class you increase how much you remember as well as how much you can recall after the semester has ended. However, I have found that when you are an active participant in my class you will look forward to coming to each class session and your fears of public speaking will soon decrease. Since this class is participatory, you will find that you will put a lot of thought and effort into this class. Much learning will occur both in class and out side of class. However, while this class is demanding, I hope that you will both enjoy this experience and learn a great deal about communication, how you communicate, and how to be a better...
