A requiring argument regarding distance learning is that online classes lack to provide personal, face-to face conversations.
I personally disagree with that claim because there is a variety of tools to communicate in a personal and meaningful way online. For example, there are software like Adobe Connect that allows the user to connect with classmates and the instructor through asynchronous and synchronous modes of communication in the same virtual space. In the video above, the idea of "personal" conversations is taken to a new level through gesture recognition technology. The software being developed by University of Florida allows students and teacher to be ina virtual space like an actual classroom, where the argument of not having face to face conversation does not really exist.
