13.6.3 :-) Grady

Linda, I agree. I would also like to add that There are many online students that would not participate in a traditional classroomsetting for fear that their comments would be seen as unintelligent or that they would not be taken seriously. Because there is no faceto face interaction, there is more confidence to participate, not only because the criticizing looks and gestures are eliminated butbecause they cannot be done online without the critic being judged themselves. We cannot assume that at this level of education allparticipants are as impartial and objective as they should be. Thanks. Grady
