#mla18 #s681 @mbbrophy quotes from report that factors influencing online enrollment were campus environment, competing responsibilities, flexible pace, and time/cost. See online environments as a chance to avoid negative classroom interactions, don’t identify as student.

#mla18 #s681 Dennihy: Online format can transform the way in which students perceive literature—online interface more informal, closer to social media, so easier to speak up about texts and realize they can make their own interpretations.
