In a distance learning set up, students may get their learning materials via snail mail, e-mail, or
the internet. Learning assessments can be in the form of written exams or assignments,
performance tasks, or portfolios. Students can also ask for support through the telephone, snail
mail, e-mail, or instant messaging applications used by their teachers.
Advantages
Flexible. Since a distance learning course is a self-study, it offers flexibility in terms of location.
You can study your materials anywhere as long as you get to submit your assessments on the
agreed dates.
Saves time. Distance learning can also save you time. Once you’re finished for the day, you can
do other errands or hobbies you have. You also don’t have to travel and be stuck in traffic to
attend classroom lectures.
Cheaper. Distance learning programs offered by public schools are often free or come with only
minimal fees. Programs offered by private institutions may also be cheaper than their traditional
counterparts.
Self-paced. Different people learn in different ways. You can learn at your own pace with
distance education. If there are lessons you find a bit hard to understand, you can spend as much
time as you want to study them.
Disadvantages
Minimal social interaction. Distance learning offers little interaction between students and
teachers. Fellow students may also not be able to communicate at all.
Little support. Since this approach relies heavily on the student’s ability to study on his or her
own, it is challenging to find additional resources for the assessments independently.
Accessibility may be a problem. Not everyone has gadgets or internet access. You may also find
it difficult to get the materials for the courses if you live in a remote area.
Requires self-motivation. You may have a hard time finishing your assessments and study
materials if you’re the type of person who needs an extra push to work. It is also easy to be
distracted as your learning environment is not as controlled as that of a classroom.
Distance learning is only effective if you invest your time into the course which you are taking.
... Obviously, the higher the percentage, the more likely it is that a person will realize their
potential when they are trying to move on from their distance learning in order to get a job
What are the advantages of online learning?
You are safe inside your home
With Covid-19 cases escalating by the thousands every day, it won’t be surprising if we just
decide to stay inside our homes for the next couple of years.
Online learning reduces the risk of contracting the virus. Students only need to go turn on their
gadgets and enter their virtual classrooms. It’s education without leaving your home!
There’s no need to queue at the bus station or at the MRT and waste precious hours. You also
don’t need to spend money for transportation or parking fees. This money can go to other
important expenses or priorities.
There is a more active participation as parents create a positive learning environment and support
their children with whatever they need for the online learning set-up.
And because there’s no need to travel to and from school and sit through hours of traffic, you
also have more time to spend with each other throughout the day.
During your lunch break, you can enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal. And when classes are
over, you can rest or even take a nap before you tackle your homework.
With online learning, you are responsible for the tools and apps you will need to be able to
follow the lessons, participate in discussions, and submit your assignments.
If you’ve never used an app before, you need to learn how to create an account, as well as
navigate the app.
Online learning also encourages you to be resourceful when it comes to research and
presentations by using alternative methods and making most of what you have at home.
And because students are at home, there’s also the tendency to feel sleepy and lazy.
With online learning, you only get to interact with what you see and hear on your screens.
Final Thoughts
Maybe for most people, the bad things outnumber the good. But with the current threat of Covid-
19, online learning seems like the best solution.
It allows our children to be safe at home without having to skip a whole school year.
In line with this, the Department of Education will also be rolling out TV and radio lectures for
students who don’t have access to the internet or cannot afford to buy electronic gadgets.
The DepEd TV channel will soon be airing on Solar Learning and IBC 13 with educational
episodes, information materials, and online lessons that will aid students and teachers during this
pandemic.
