While these may be regarded and ecologically efficient, there is no the cut and thrust of being in an actual classroom situation.

So, what am I saying, because many on-line Community Forums do allow that interaction - CR4 Forum for example.

I consider that, as the years progress, more students/learners will do their major learning, on-line.

It is far more productive of teacher time, as students may thereby learn at their own pace.

We shall see.

Kind Regards....
