Exercise 9. Read the text and decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered new ways of learning. All around the world, educational
institutions are looking toward online learning platforms to continue with the process of educating
students. As with most teaching methods, online learning also has its own set of positives and
negatives.
Online learning offers teachers an efficient way to deliver lessons to students. It has a number of
tools such as videos, PDFs, podcasts. Another advantage of online education is that it allows students
to attend classes from any location of their choice. Moreover, online learning can reduce financial
costs. This is because online learning eliminates the cost points of student transportation, student meals,
and most importantly, accommodation.
For many students, one of the biggest challenges of online learning is the struggle with focusing
on the screen for long periods of time. With online learning, there is also a greater chance for students
to be easily distracted by social media or other sites. Another key challenge of online classes is internet
connectivity. Without a consistent internet connection for students or teachers, there can be a lack of
continuity in learning for the child.
In conclusion, online learning should be seen as a complement and extension of classical forms of
learning. Teachers need to make use of it wisely in order to achieve the best result.
