Abstract

The goal of this chapter is to explore the benefits, limitations, and opportunities of online instruction in higher education. Steiner and Hyman (2010) posit that online courses have become an increasingly popular means for teaching university students and an alternative to face-to-face classroom instruction. In addition, Serlin (2005) believed that some learning activities can be done better, or more extensively, in an online setting. According to Serlin (2005), this is partly because students feel a significant amount of anonymity, which makes them less inhibited about participating in discussion, and in other online activities.
