Thanks for taking the time to reply. Problem is, your reply does not hold water. That is, it does not seem valid as too many highly complex courses are given by online universities all around the globe.
Again, thanks for responding though.

Based on the enormous amount of material that is covered and the intensity of the class, as well as experience with other online classes, it would be a near-impossibility to teach this class online. There are many times in class that we have to do a lot of hand-holding, and double-check the work of students in the class. Imagine having just 7 people in an online class, and while typing in code, 4 of them get the code incorrect. You then have to stop everything you are doing and fix each student one at a time by listening to everything they have typed in. This could take 30 minutes to solve all 4 problems in some cases, and by that time, I am certain you have lost the other 3 students to something else. But, you wouldn't know where they were because you are not in the same room. These are problems that are much easier to overcome in a real-world setting. This would be extremely difficult to do in an online environment. If someone were to do one-on-one training online, it might be possible, but still difficult. However, to teach an entire group online is an entirely different story. Since so many people want to learn the basics of scripting, we are making a strong effort to provide these classes in various parts of the country, and they are extremely well received.
