I’d like to conduct a really detailed study of people doing distance courses for university vs people doing their courses on campus. Motivation, work ethic, performance, time spent studying, anything relevant really. There’s likely a very different group of people doing courses online compared to the usual university crowd, so I know grades don’t prove much, but it’s possible that online courses are just the way of the future. The people who seriously want to learn can, and will, continue to succeed while hopefully eliminating the less dedicated students.

It’s quite possible that a study has already been done on this, but I’m not as interested in the results as I am in the idea of researching something like that o.0 Still, if you google up something relevant, send it to me!
