1.1. *1 Online learning in music education is not any better or worse than having a on campus experience of learning. ("In this study, the underlying belief is that an online degree in music education is not necessarily better or worse than a school's traditional campus-based counterpart. Rather, it is simply a different method of achieving a university's goal of raising the educational level of the community it was created to serve. ")
1.2. *2 Online studies for music education is a more productive way of studying while you work. ("If a teacher took a year off from working, he or she may not have sufficient financial resources to pay tuition and expenses. If a teacher attempted to both work and pursue a master's degree simultaneously, class schedules at the university might conflict with the work schedule.")
1.3. *3 Academic Dishonesty ("With online coursework, the professor may not know who is actually completing the work or how the work is being done. Although it is possible to cheat in any academic setting, the problem seems more pronounced in online courses because of perceived anonymity.")
