All of the authors were in agreement in the fact that there should be more distance learning. This allows schools to compete globally and open the enrollment process to more students. With distance learning, students can attend school from home and still be with their family. This also eliminates the monopoly that schools had on teaching. Schools have been face-to-face and students were to use it now they have a choice of how they want to learn. They can do everything from the house and still be housewifes, mothers, at home sick, or whatever.

In contrasting the situation, some students are resistant to change and think that face-to-face education is the way education should be. You have the same learning happening but it is taught differently. Like wit teachers who are resistant to change, some students are resistant to change and feel that is the best way to teac education.

I agree that we should move to a new level of teaching and learning. This is just like with resturants, there are different Chinese resturants so you can pick which one is the one you like best and want to dine in.
