Is it possible online classes are difficult to make it through for the same reason that traditional classes are difficult to make it through - because the classes are boring? I've tried several online classes, ranging from Sustainability to JavaScript, and I've found them all incredibly boring. Perhaps, we need to rethink the value of having someone lecture for an hour several days a week. The best way I've learned to do things is to go out and try it, and figure out why it did or didn't work.
