online education documentary

I thought the documentary during our last class was one of the more well rounded ones we have watched.  Although it sided more towards online classes being a helpful tool, it showed evenly both the positives and negatives of the idea.  I think online education effects each person individually, as some people may love it while other people may not be able to adapt.  Me being a hands-on and visual learner would probably find it hard to gain any knowledge from taking an online course.  Some people, on the other hand, cannot afford driving to a classroom or has work hours that does not fit their school schedule may find it easier to take online classes that work around the hectic things already occurring in their lives.  One man that spoke in the documentary was explaining that face-to-face learning with a professor cannot be simulated or get the same benefits as a computer.  I completely agree, but I also realize that some people have to settle with less than perfect to get what they want out of life.
