Focus is on using writing for a specific purpose -- to persuade.
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
~ Helen Keller
For every module, you will be asked to write entry and post it. An entry is a submission, in this case in writing, of ideas, experiences, or opinions of what you know or have learned.

Virtual Students
Thanks to the availability of home computers and increasingly powerful Internet access, some schools have the ability to transmit live classroom lectures via computer to students unable to attend class in person. Imagine that a school district is considering expanding its "virtual classroom" program to reduce overcrowding and save money on bus transportation for students in distant areas. However, some people argue that students who do not attend school in person will not develop the skills necessary to compete in the real world. Write an essay explaining your opinion about the expansion of virtual classroom learning. Provide reasons and examples to support your position.
