Online classes
❖ Definition: Online learning is the newest and most popular form of distance
education today. Within the past decade it has had a major impact on
postsecondary education and the trend is only increasing.
❖ Advantages:
➢ Time Flexibility: Not only have you saved hours by not having to travel to a
physical location to take a class, but with online classes, you have greater
flexibility in choosing when the best time to study for you is.
➢ Convenience: The first obvious advantage of online classes is the sheer convenience
factor. Perhaps some of you are burdened by a lengthy commute after a long day.
➢ Improved Student Attendance : Since online classes can be taken from home or
location of choice, there are fewer chances of students missing out on lessons.

➢ Affordability: Another advantage of online learning is reduced financial costs.

Online education is far more affordable as compared to physical learning.

❖ Disadvantages:

➢ Lack of Community: Everyone learns in their own manner. Some students possess the
ability to work independently, while others find comfort in their community on campus
and thus easy access to professors or their fellow students.
➢ Self Discipline : Piggybacking off the sentiment above, sometimes being part of a
community and having to physically show up increases the likelihood of accountability.
➢ Technical Difficulties: The classic disadvantages of online classes center around
technical difficulties. Not being able to see or hear an instructor’s lesson is a sure fire
way to encourage students to give up.
➢ Conclusions : There are advantages and disadvantages of online classes for higher
education. But as technological capabilities have reached new heights and many of the
major concerns of students taking online classes have been addressed, the advantages of
online classes are beginning to eclipse the disadvantages.
