Advantages of online courses

There are many perks to enrolling on an online course. Although they require just as much work and time as a physical face to face program, studying in a virtual environment has recognized benefits that traditional bricks and mortar classrooms do not. Here are some of them;

Convenient
One of the most appealing aspects is the option to study from anywhere anytime. You can take virtual lectures, communicate with fellow students, pose questions to teachers, take online exams, conduct research and much more whenever you want. Students can study and interact with their instructors and fellow classmates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All in a way that doesn’t interfere with their other work or personal commitments and from the comfort of their own home, coffee shop, or library. Students can log into lessons, view PDFs and listen to lecture podcasts on their phones, tablets, and laptops.

Study at your own pace
Everyone has their own learning style. Some people pick up new information quickly, whilst others are not so fast and need repetition to fully absorb unfamiliar knowledge. With online classes you can record, store, archive and share lessons for future reference, allowing you to access the learning material multiple times until it has been fully learnt.

Flexible
Students aren’t tied down to a fixed schedule. Instead, they have the option to set their own agenda and learn in whatever setting is most productive for them, whether that be alone in complete silence or with others listening to music.

Wide selection of courses to choose from
You can choose from a variety of online courses and access degree programs from across the world that might have otherwise been inaccessible or inconvenient. There is an endless amount of opportunity to learn new things and you can find online courses on just about any subject you can imagine.

Less intimidating
Many people can find asking questions or speaking up in a classroom environment intimidating. They may not be comfortable querying a professor to repeat a point in a lecture or speaking publicly about the deeper detail of a specific topic. Online courses eliminate the need to do this and can therefor foster better class participation for those who are shy.

Affordable
Students doing online degrees can save money by avoiding many fees typically associated with campus-based education. Apart from the much lower course enrolment fees, they can also eliminate the cost associated with things like daily transportation, parking, meals, study materials, textbooks and renting property. All of these translate to lower debts and more savings. A win-win situation for cash strapped undergraduates.

Study whilst you work
In the modern world not many people have the chance to take time off from work from a 9 – 5 job to participate in an academic program that requires physical attendance. For them juggling working and going back to school commitments is not an option. With an online course there is no need to leave the office early or skip family dinner to commute to campus. You don’t need to take months off work to learn a new skill.

Connect with people all over the world
The borderless nature of online learning means you get the chance to network with peers from across the world. Through forums, students receive a broader, global perspective on education and an opportunity to interact with rich learning communities in different countries. It’s much easier for education hungry students to get connected with world-class teachers and a global community of fellow passionate classmates.

Improved student attendance
Since online classes can be taken at a convenient time and from a location of choice, there are fewer chances of students missing lessons.

Online support
There is much more opportunity for direct teacher-student interaction. You can get 24/7 online support and feedback from an e-learning tutor when you really need it. Trainers can be quickly contacted directly via email and chat support is also available through secure online portals.

No need to buy textbooks
In a paperless learning environment there is no need to purchase expensive books or bulky manuals. Making your academic journey more affordable and in its own small way more beneficial to the environment.

No need to travel
Eliminating the dreaded daily commute to College or University means more time for your studies and personal life. The day becomes less stressful without the day to day grind of having to fight and rush through traffic so as not to be late for a class.

No classroom pressure
E-learning removes the tension and stress that can exist in a competitive classroom environment where people are expected to keep up with the brightest students. Instead you learn at your own tempo and only proceed when you have fully understood a subject.

Suits individual leaning styles
You can learn at your own pace and in a way that suits your personality. For instance some people are solo learners who get distracted by large groups, whilst others are visual learners who thrive when they watch online videos. Conversely, others prefer to learn through audio. Whatever your preferences, you can mould a course to suit your behaviour.

Teaches you to become more self-disciplined
Having to do things yourself is an excellent way to learn about how to become more reliable, responsible and accountable to both yourself and others.
