Disadvantages of online learning

Although the article states that online learning is better than face-to-face education, I disagree. Online classes are usually very challenging. I have taken several online classes over my college career. During these times, a couple of the instructors were very hard to get in touch with. It seemed as though every time I wanted to contact a professor, they would either not receive my e-mail or they would not respond in a timely manner. Also, you do not see the teacher everyday. If you need clarification on an assignment, it has to be done via e-mail. This can cause a lot of confusion. Technology is a great thing, but can let us down. Computers crash, power can be lost, and servers can be down. These are all problems we face when we agree to take online classes. Nothing can beat a face-to-face learning experience.
