  1. The communication barrier that can exists between student and instructor contributes to this dropout rate. Providing better communication solutions between instructor and student will help the student to feel more connected in the online environment thus lessing the chance of a dropout for the student.

    1. Cause of withdrawal
    Students' poor time management
    Instructor not understanding to follow up on student, providing regular feedbacks, and reminders.

    2. Solution
    Online instructor should be proactive with student interactions, reminders, and just how are you doing. This will help student with more focus effort

  5. I recently took an online class. I like total freedom as to when you attain your classes.

    However, I don't like about being all alone without instructor visual cues.
