Ch. 10 Kearsley

This chapter focus on learning in the informative age. There are many points that this chapter dwells on including:
1. The gap between those with and those without computers.
2. The focus on technology, to some it is good and to others it is evil.
3. The individual's privacy is not protected in an online environment.
4. The quality of the information on the web may limited.
5. The cost of online education may not be possible for all.
6. There is resistance from individuals and organizations from fear to change.
Online education challenges learners and is different from learning that takes place in a traditional classroom. Which is better? I feel that the focus in the 21st century is on distance education. Learning in a traditional classroom setting is losing and learning through technology is winning. I think that everyone is responsibible to educate themselves and practice using technology in order to effectively be informed of issues in the world.
