Pros and Cons to Online Learning

When it comes to online learning there are many pros and cons. Some find online learning beneficial. With online courses you can choose your schedule, versus having a class you have to physically attend; this can be helpful to parents, those who are employed and those who have trouble with transportation. Those who have trouble with concentration can use online learning to chose a more comfortable environment where they are able to focus. Overall online learning is helpful to those with conflicts in their schedule and other areas of their life.
Although online learning classes are helpful, they can also be difficult. Having a teacher to keep you on track and focused is vital to some students. Self discipline is important to have when enrolled in online courses, if there is no determination, then the student is more than likely not going to keep up with the work. So online classes are not always the right choice if you need someone to enforce a schedule to get things done. With classes like math, most people would want a teacher to show them step by step instructions on how to complete a problem, this isn’t possible with online learning without some type of interactive, which is still somewhat hard to follow. All and all there are many pros and cons to online learning.
