The professor in online schools can still be very helpful; the students just have to take the initiative to ask for help when they need it. When attending a college on campus, some universities require their students to attend all classes, while others leave it as an option. It is
So it makes it hard to know if the students cheat more in online education. The authors of this article also raise an excellent question: “Whether students engaged in online education have a fundamentally different perception of what does and does not constitute as cheating?” The second article I read was Academic Integrity and Distance Learning by Mark M. Lanier, published in October 2006. I found this article in the database ProQuest, using the keywords online courses and academic honesty. The article is not peer reviewed. The issues related to academic honesty in this article are similar to the issues I found in the first article.

She explains how after four years of online teaching, she has gained valuable experience and insight, into this area of teaching. No longer do a student’s actions and ideas astonish her. Laird emphasizes that for the inexperienced online instructor, this approach to teaching can be a huge disappointment, if they are not prepared for the reality of what awaits them. She conveys her concern that teachers are prepared in the technical aspect of distance learning, but unprepared for the reality of the online student’s behavior.

I chose this essay to develop an argumental opposing view point, because I feel that the content of this essays is not right, well I feel differently about the view point of the matter after reading this essay, which described the authors bad ordeal with Facebook and personal dislike, Facebook which is an internet network connect, that offers people around the world privilege to connect to each other sociably. Was relevant in my life if not the authors, I feel that the new social network has brought me a lot of comfort and entertainment, as a student while studying at school.

In addition, the use of technology affects the way people learn material. Tan also states in her article, “How Has Google Affected the Way Students Learn?”, “[the students] tend to have a better memory of how and where to find the information -- instead of recalling the information itself.” The results portray the notion that the use of technology changes how humans retain information.

Shirky immediately establishes his credibility with The Washington Post readers by acknowledging his occupation as a professor in the field of social media. With this statement, he also diffuses any counter-arguments directed towards his insight and familiarity with modern technology. Furthermore, Shirky asserts that multi-tasking is a negative consequence of allowing laptops, tablets and phones to be used in class. He elaborates on the negative effects of multi-tasking by stating, “We’ve known for some time that multi-tasking is bad for the quality of cognitive work, and is especially punishing of the kind of cognitive work we ask of college students” (Strauss 4). To substantiate his position against the unproductive nature of multi-tasking, Shirky qualifies his statements with research from a Standford University study.
