This article presents information on a study related to online education, which is the latest technique in the long history of distance education. Loss of educational quality as a result of Internet delivery is the major concern identified in this survey. The Internet is leading to a fundamental change in the manner in which students are learning and retaining knowledge. The new delivery mode is pushing change, and universities must consider if they are happy with the direction being taken.
This is an editorial that focuses on the benefits of distance learning, an educational approach that integrates technology, connectivity, curricular content, and human resources. It is a discussion of how it is more effective than the more traditional passive learning.

These articles look good Amanda--what do you think of them? Do them seem credible and are they going to be helpful for your paper?
Your sources seem to be pretty good, and it's a very relevant choice for a topic.
I like this topic. I think it is very good. When I use to see Colleges on tv that offered online degrees I didn't think they would be as good as an on campus degree. I agree with some of the classes being offered only however, I don't know about others. Some majors the classes are to hard to take the online classes. I am a Mathematics major and I would never think of taking one of my Math classes on the internet!
Fun topic. Maybe some of your findings will lead you into the issue of online degrees, and their validity and benefits? I am curious.
