My attendance with my class being online differs in many ways from when I have taken courses in a classroom. I typically log on as my schedule dictates which is a good change of pace as opposed to following a schedule of being at a certain time and place at two to three times a week. I generally will go to my office where I can get away from the distractions that keep my work from being done efficiently. I tend to look ahead and try and plan out when I am going to have my assignments completed by and then work ahead. I enjoy being able to communicate with my class members online as it seems like thoughts are shared more readily. During the week, I will typically work on an assignment for a class per day.
The areas I have found differ are in the room for error in online coursework. Because you do not have the face to face interaction, there has been a great deal of confusion for me. Areas where more clarification is needed can create a little more stress as well as being reliant upon online variables. In a class room you simply have to be at the location specified at the correct date and times. There is a lot more self-governing involved when you take your courses online.
Overall, I enjoy the online nature of the courses more so than a class room despite the few issues that tend to arise.
