Online graduate degree programs are being offered worldwide. In many respects, the programs are like the same degree programs available in a traditional campus environment, but in several key aspects, they are very different.
First, online degree programs do not offer one-on-one time with the professors. On campus, professors hold regular office hours and expect to have conferences with their graduate students. In addition, many opportunities present themselves for informal interactions before and after class or in chance meetings on campus. Some professors invite their graduate students to their homes or otherwise make themselves available in semi-social settings. In contrast, online professors are unable to see their graduate students in person and, consequently, do not know them very well.
Second, many online graduate programs are not as challenging or as high quality as their on-campus counterparts. In fact, some courses are so easy that students are able to complete them online in one weekend. For the most part, senior faculty members refuse to teach the online courses, contributing to the difference in quality of the online and on-campus courses with the same titles. Many excellent professors view the huge numbers in the online classes as an impediment. Technology allows for more students to take the same course, and junior faculty or graders provide feedback on assignments that are graded by senior faculty teaching on campus.
Third, top schools do not offer online degree programs. Although non-credit courses or even a handful of credit courses may be available, the best schools still require that graduate students complete a more conventional program with most of their time spent in residence on campus. For students who want a graduate degree from a prestigious university, online options are not open to them.
The reading and lecture both are about online graduate degree program that are offered worldwide. The author of reading argues that the online degrees are inferior in many aspects than the traditional campus setup, the lecturer disputes claims presented in the article.
According to the article a conventional classroom setting provides a student with one-on-one interaction with the professor. It states that being on campus can allow student to get to know the professor in more informal way. The lecturer comments here that interaction between a student and professor is dependent on the student's will to communicate with his professor. He states that like on campus face to face interaction is the most plausible source of communicating, in online degree the communication flows via the mails and text message which are quite efficient.
Secondly, the author scrutinizes the online degree programs by stating that they are less challenging than the programs offered on campus. He states that the online programs are so easy that most students can finish them in a week's time. The lecturer challenges this argument. He states that online courses meet the same standards as the courses offered on campus. Infact the online courses require students to be more self disciplined, manage their time and jugle between the online tech as well as the content of course.
Lastly, the author puts forth the idea that most prestigious universities don't provide online programs. In contrast, the lecturer's stance is that today almost all IVY league colleges provide online degree program. He states some programs might have a requirement for one term residency on campus but the online degree are available in most of the top notch university.
