 Student, teacher, professor: Three perspectives on online learning

Mark Pearcy’s article “Student, Teacher, Professor: Three Perspectives on Online Education” looks at how online learning affects education from three different views. Students can connect with professors in real time, sometimes in ways that are better than traditional classrooms. Teachers are using more technology in their lessons, with websites and online tools helping students learn. Professors need to keep adjusting to new methods and digital tools to stay effective. These three views show how online learning is changing the way teaching and learning happens.
