“Online Courses Are Harming the Students Who Need the Most Help” is the headline of a January 19, 2018, New York Times article that concludes: “…the evidence is clear. For advanced learners, online classes are a terrific option, but academically challenged students need a classroom with a teacher’s support.”
Is your reaction to nod your head in agreement, or raise a hand to object? What can be done for the “students who need the most help”? How does this deficit-framing affect our perceptions and actions when teaching online?
