To be successful in online classes, students must be more self-motivated (because they don't have to face their teacher and class in person). For some students, online is the only way they can attend. But to assume that 25 percent of students will succeed this way seems risky. If he's wrong, you trade a system that generally works (at least for 18-year-olds) for a system that may decrease students' odds of success. <BR/><BR/>Northeast Wisconsin Technical College offers a mix of partially-online and online classes similar to yours. We posted a free Online Readiness survey that helps users find out whether they're likely to succeed online.
