    Collaboration occurs on a one-to-one, face-to-face basis in "regular" classrooms, but in online education, participants use e-mail, Message Boards, and Chat Rooms to communicate.
     In traditional education, students are expected to master specific learning objectives through readings and written assignments, but this is not the case in online education.
     Students in regular classes attend in-person lectures and participate in real-time labs, whereas online students access lecture materials via the Web and AOL.
     Regular classrooms exist in actual physical spaces, and traditional classes must be attended at specific times. However, online classrooms can be accessed using a computer anywhere in the world, at whatever time works best for a particular student.
