People are taking attendance in online and physical classes. We can discuss 
if students are more motivated in one setting than in another, but it is a 
different matter. At the end of the day, teaching staff has to ensure 
somehow that students satisfied course requirements and it is essentially 
the same online and offline.

Visual web and textual print - the discussion is getting even more 
interesting.
