I prefer virtual classes so I can still talk with the instructor and classmates in real time but not leave the house.

I prefer to take classes online. I graduated high school at the start of the pandemic and while it was a struggle to adjust to the virtual learning after being taught in person my entire life, I love the flexibility online schooling offers me. While I don't have a family, I do work full time and love spending time with friends and family, and being able to create my own schedule for when I want/need to get things completed has really been able to help me create a good balance.

Hi everyone, I found it hard to choose just one type of modality. I am a visual learner and find that giving presentations is an excellent way for me to learn. So, I chose face-to-face learning as my preferred choice. I value the connection between visual and auditory learning. I also like making eye contact with people when we are speaking to each other.

I am starting to think that face to face learning is actually best for me. I thought online would be what would work best because I struggle so much with social anxiety however it is proving to be more of a challenge for me than I expected. I find myself having to rewatch videos, reread articles, start assignments many times. If I were face to face I wouldn't have the backround life constantly distracting me.

I prefer online learning because I have a hectic life with three kids and two jobs. Online learning allows for flexibility so that I am able to make my own schedule and complete everything at the end of the day. The work life and school balance are perfect for my everyday lifestyle. Virtual learning has grown over the years and the convivence has allowed me to continue my education virtually.

After thinking about all the options, I think I prefer online learning the best. I know that I would do better face to face, however online learning gives me the flexibility I need. Even with this class, I work about 30 hours a week, and I am still a senior in high school, so the online option allows me to work on things when I have the time and still get it in. In the future, when I start college, I would still like to have a job working around the same hours, and if online is flexible then that’s what would work best. I would even consider doing like a hybrid, half in half.
