“You don’t have to get dressed, hire a babysitter, drive to a campus, find a parking space, lug a textbook around, or sit in a classroom for hours on end to earn your degree.” (Bethel University, 2014, pp. 4)
There are a few differences between traditional classroom and online classroom environments.
