According to James Quinn, John A. Russell Corporation, “Replying to homework questions online allows me to organize my thoughts before sharing them with the class. Also, presenting an opinion or experience with the class is less intimidating than presenting (in person) in a traditional classroom.”
It is common for students to find it easier to participate in an online class rather than stand before a regular class to deliver reports. Many women also find online learning to be preferable to sitting in a classroom with a group of male construction workers. Older workers prefer online learning so they don’t have to sit in a class filled with younger students.
