Online courses don't discourage collaborative learning. In some cases, they encourage it even.
On the other hand, if all your peers in your offline world don't care for your courses at all, then solo studying is better than nothing...
- EzGraphs 13y agoOnline courses may not actively discourage collaboration, but they certainly do not force it in the same way that is possible in a traditional classroom. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge supporter of online courses. But a teacher staring you down, asking you a question, or encouraging you to work on a project in a small group is much more attention-grabbing than many online teaching mechanisms available.
