It is true that online learning is a rapidly growing phenomenon around the world. It is also true that many people prefer to learn one-on-one with a ‘real’ person, in a real classroom. However for ease and convenience, online learning is an exceptional way for students to learn.
There are couple of issue that online learning does nor adequately satisfy. The biggest issue is that unlike classroom in an educational institution, there is often no ‘real’ teacher. If a student has a question or needs immediate feedback on a point, in most cases they are not able to get it. A big part of the learning process includes human interaction so the lack of a real, living teacher ca be a negative for students.
While there are a few disadvantages with online learning, there are many more advantages. Many people who want to study also have day jobs and schools are often open when they are working. Online learning solves this problem-students can study whenever they have time-study flexibility. Time wastage is another issue. Many hours each day are wasted when a student studies in a traditional school setting. Non-study activities like travelling to school, chatting to classmates throughout the day, and travelling home are time wasters. Another online study benefit is the pace of learning. Students can learn without distractions at their own pace. This means that students can really focus on the course and, as a result, achieve better result.
