text: As with all new technology, distance learning is bound to come with an array of technical issues. The first issue would be software bugs. Software bugs can make a program unpleasant to use, or completely shut it down. Software bugs fixed at the discretion of the developers, which could take anywhere from a few hours to a few years. Students would opt out of the program, making it a wasted resource. Besides developer issues, some students lack the tools to use an online class. Not all students have internet access or an internet capable device, and the majority of those students are in a financial situation where they may not ever get one. To solve this, the school system would have to provide these students the devices they need. This is extremely expensive and unlikely in most cases. Schools would have to host fundraisers or revisit the budget, both of which aren't fool-proof plans, in order to accommodate these students. The biggest problem of all would be the learning curve both teachers and students would experience with program. Teachers would be trained beforehand, but that doesn't ensure fluency. They would still have to experiment and problem solve before they actually learned the program. The same goes for students; though, they may have a harder time since they are most comfortable with mobile devices rather than desktop computers. The whole program would cause widespread confusion and produce little results.
