Booker Warlick: E-learning has advantages and disadvantages. Since you want to address the effects, these are majority from research and studies done in universities1) Attendance is not a factor in higher learning since E-Learning have most class lectures and study guides present at any time (assuming ISP service works and maintenance). 2) Learning could be at your convenience to point.
