An interesting point they bring up is the circumvention of cheating by having another person complete your coursework:
In the future we may be able to remotely identify individuals using devices that scan finger, voice, or eye-prints technology, which is already in use for security applications, but at present this seems a rather extreme measure. (Moore & Kearsley)
This also introduces the problem of plagiarism that has seeming run rampant in both online and traditional brick and mortar education. "Plagiarism is a particular worry for educators in the online environment because materials can be so easy located in captured electronically that the line between legitimate research and plagiarism is sometimes not easy for students to recognize." (Moore & Kearsley) However, anti-plagiarism efforts have increased tremendously over the past several years, both in distance learning as well as traditional education. Web sites like TurnItIn.com and others have greatly improved the search for plagiarism in college term papers and theses. Requiring that all papers submitted to the online university to go through such sites adds another layer of security to online, as well as traditional, education.
While Moore and Kingsley go through great effort to give the teacher excellent tool by which to conduct online education with better confidence and superior results, one thing is clear, that it is not like traditional classroom education. There has been an initial effort to keep online learning as similar to brick and mortar classroom as possible. By creating...
However, considering the need to have learning at your own schedule that students of this method prefer, real time classes are often disadvantageous. The attempt to maintain the human element and the traditional classroom setting has certainly limited the flexibility of distance learning. The Authors also touch upon the idea of Asynchronous Discussions as one of the advantages of this medium over real time classroom:
The basic pattern of the discussion forum is fairly standard: an opening message, the course designer prepares a question requiring a response, the instructor gives an explanation for reflection on some item of content, or students post an assignment, responding message, instructor or students are expected to reply to one person with an elaboration or alternative view, for question. (Moore & Kearsley)
Furthermore, anyone who has either been in the workforce or born into the computerized generation has a new concept of what the actual human element really is. This generation has become so accustomed to words on a page creating a dialog, whether instantaneously in chat rooms or through the slight delays of blog postings and e-mail, requiring that a physical presence is necessary for the classroom is almost vestigial. However, some distance learning is also a combination of both on- and off-campus independent and collaborative learning. The human element is always present in some form or another in any classroom environment.
Bedsore prevention was not given priority in the 'benchmarks' used to grade nursing effectiveness and insufficient care and attention was devoted to ensuring that nurses followed standardized preventative procedures. Nurses themselves cited many perceived barriers to being able to take full precautions, including a lack of time, having to work long shifts and being over-tired, and a lack of emphasis on such routine patient care overall. An important implication of
The practical limitations also have to do with the underlying managing of logic from an increasingly more dense packing of circuits on a single surface mount, as would be the case in the development of an integrated circuit. How can application software improve the effectiveness of a large enterprise? What are some of the benefits associated with implementation of an enterprise resource planning system? What are some of the issues

There is no formula to fall back on when trying to address the real needs and perceived needs of various elements in the organizational hierarchy: hence the challenge for the administrator. The administrative budget is often the aspect of the online learning environment most tempting to "skimp" upon, given that administrative savings are supposed to be one of the benefits of the online environment, "Good management means extensive planning and
An admission interviewer could help explore the above issues with any student considering the program and help the student determine for herself or himself whether the program might match his or her needs. Students who are most likely to be actively engaged in the process are also likely to achieve success in distance-learning program. Clariana & Mohler (2000) performed a survey of distance-learners enrolled in a program sponsored by Pennsylvania
