CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Introduction
Online instruction seems to be the ideal answer for busy individuals with a job and a family, who need more education in order to advance or just keep pace professionally (Holt, 1999; Macht, 1998). What could be better than a class that meets any time you are ready and have a computer available, for exactly the amount of time you have, and builds a close relationship with your professor and classmates through collaborative discussions (Gray, 1998; Vetter, 1997)? It could be the only way in which students who live far from a campus to take the classes or programs they need.
Few studies have tried can characterize the online student. One found the largest group of online students to be women, over 25 years of age, who worked more than 30 hours a week. This characterization is essentially the same as the typical distance education student (Hoffman, 1999a). A report by a faculty group at the University of
Illinois, however, has found many on campus students take many if not all of their classes online (Regalbuto, 1999).
As distance and Web-based learning becomes more popular and more accessible, high school, college and graduate courses are being offered via the Web as part of complete diploma and degree programs by more and more institutions. Vetter,
(1997) used an InfoSeek search with the term “online courses,” it returned 3.5 million hits. Corporations have found online learning to be a more economical alternative than the typical corporate training session (Himmelberg, 1998). However, little research has

been done to understand some of the ramifications of this fast growing phenomena (Grossman, 1999).
Different professors’ classes could have different class population characteristics, and could give those professors different impressions and opinions of issues confronting online instruction. In the future, as online education becomes more pervasive, the characteristics of the online

    It seems that technology is growing, improving, and changing at an exponential rate. Technology now affects every part of our lives from the time we get up to the time we go to bed, and even as we sleep. One of the major areas that has been affected by technology is education. At one time, the only option for students to complete their education was in a traditional classroom setting. There has become a major need for non-traditional education because there has been a growth in the amount of non-traditional students that exist in our society. The advancement of technology has recently allowed for education to be completed in an online setting instead of in a traditional classroom setting. Online education is an effective and comparable alternative to a traditional classroom setting, and it can be a great opportunity for a non-traditional student to further his or her education and become one step closer to being a successful, self-sufficient individual.…

    The online (non-traditional) student is often challenged with issues that the traditional (campus-based) student is not; also, the online instructor does not realize the constraints placed upon the online student. Online students are a diverse group of learners from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Rovai (2002) stated certain characteristics could affect student persistence. An example of this is minority students feeling isolated in online courses. Online learners are also classified as independent, self-directed, autonomous, and internally motivated. They typically are 22-50 years of age, unable to enroll in campus-based classes due to other roles and responsibilities, and are lifelong learners (Diaz & Bontenbal as…

    When Craig Silvey published his novel, Jasper Jones, in 2009, Australia was a very different place in comparison to the small Western Australian town of Corrigin in 1965, the fictional setting of the narrative. A knowledge of the context of text production and the context of the world of the text can help us to gain a deeper understanding of the issues raised in the novel. Most importantly, the novel foregrounds values such as egalitarianism, multiculturalism and racial and gender equality, while promoting attitudes towards these which in most cases are vastly different to those held by most Australians almost half a century ago.…

    Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” happens to be one of if not the most influential and motivational works of the year 1776 at the beginning of the American Revolution. Not only did it present a viable argument against the need for reconciliation with Great Britain and give a multitude of reasons for the need to depart from the rule of the British monarchy, but it also brought on an increasing sentiment for revolution amongst the colonies and inspired the writing of the Declaration of Independence. This essay will outline the most relevant argument made in Paine’s literary work that lead to its popularity amongst the British colonists, and how its influence lead to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It will also give the opposing views of the many colonists from North America and the Caribbean who remained loyal to the British Empire, and give a sound counter-argument against the ideas of “Common Sense” and the need for a revolution and a Declaration of Independence.…
