Your essay requires a minimum of three sources; however, more are permitted.
For each source you use, write an APA- or MLA-formatted works cited entry (depending on your major) and at least one substantial paragraph evaluating that source. Use the examples on the Purdue OWL website as a guide. You do not have to write more than one paragraph for each citation.
FREEBIE: If you use EBSCOHOST, Google Scholar, PubMed, or JSTOR databases to find your sources, you do not have to write the evaluative paragraph. Articles on those databases have already been reviewed and meet academic and scholarly criteria. You simply have to copy and paste the citation (another bonus!!).
These will be the sources you use for your essay; remember, you need at least three.
Online Learning Effective or Not
1. Increased accessibility to education for individuals with busy schedules or limited mobility.
2. Flexibility in learning pace and schedule allows for a personalized learning experience.
3. Many online resources and tools are available for interactive and engaging learning.
Counter-argument: Online learning lacks the in-person interaction and social aspect of traditional classroom settings, leading to decreased engagement and motivation.
Rebuttal: While online learning may lack in-person interaction, technology has advanced to offer various ways for students to engage with instructors and peers, such as through video conferences, discussion forums, and virtual group projects. Additionally, the flexibility and convenience of online learning can increase motivation for individuals who may struggle with traditional classroom settings.
