Learning Patterns of Online Students

Abstract

The virtual explosion of online education has prompted questioning of the quality of the learning. In addition, the effect of online learning on learner outcomes is receiving scrutiny. In this study, online students became more independent and self-disciplined as learners. In addition, the students reported they learned to trust their own judgment and delve deeper into the content than they did in traditional lecture-driven courses. The effect of online courses on learning styles is described.
