What Is So Great About Online Schools?
In a typical online university, neither your professors nor your classmates ever need to know how old you are. That’s because you can logon, take classes, and participate in group discussions in total anonymity. All of your interactions take place via the Internet, so there’s no need to cover up the fact that you are 25, 35, or 75 years old. In fact, you simply have no way of knowing what anyone’s age is, and that can help keep people’s perceptions from getting in the way of good discussion.
