1. Do virtual learning environments have the potential to fully replace traditional classrooms? Why or why not?

2. Do virtual learning environments create new and different opportunities for students to learn opposed to the traditional classroom setting? Explain.

3. What are some benefits for post-secondary institutions to implement online learning? Do these benefits outweigh any cons that there may be?

4. A trade-off of VLE is that students can be required to release personal information that generally would not be required for face-to-face classes. For example, many students are expected to provide emails and/or personal phone numbers to fellow class members when placed in groups. Should post-secondary institutions be responsible for protecting students privacy and finding alternative ways for students to contact each other? Why or why not?
