PROS OF ONLINE LEARNING (E-LEARNING)

The benefits of online learning can't be beat when it comes to earning your college degree and enhancing knowledge. Below are few points that highlight the benefits of online learning:

1.     A large variety of courses are available to choose: Whether it is algebra, English composition or even biology lab work, there's a course you can take online easily. You can even study humanities, sociology and business administration and many other courses.

2.     Multiple ways to interact with your professor or teacher - The great thing about online classes is the flexibility you have to communicate with your professor or teacher. It's not always convenient to see your college course teacher face to face, so using email, live chat and telephone conversations, you have more opportunities to get feedback, interact or have Q&A session with your college professor easily.

3.     It doesn't cost as much - You can save hundreds of dollars to get your degree when you're learning online using learning platforms. You also have the right hardware and software to log on and complete course, assignments, as well as study the material, there are big savings you realize right away.

4.     You have better opportunities to concentrate - you can choose anyplace that helps you learn the material to gain a greater understanding of the overall body of knowledge you need to earn and enhance your degree.

5.     You can customize your learning environment - Whether you're at home, on the road or at a friend's house, you can create your own perfect room to study class materials and do homework assignments easily. You don't have to put up with any disruptive environments like crowded libraries etc. Online learning offers better opportunities to concentrate and grab knowledge by not being around other people. You can dedicate one room for quiet study, or if you're shy, you don't have to worry about interacting with other students and teachers.

6.     Boost opportunity for classroom subject discussions - Online courses give you the chance to talk about classroom assignments using online chat forums or live online discussion sites. You can exchange ideas with other students without having to travel to a common meeting place that might not be convenient for you.

7.     Join virtual study groups – It is possible to form study groups online using free online software like Google Meet ,Hangout or Join Me to study remotely with others. All you need is your computer, talk in, and the time to join others virtually to swap ideas about classroom assignments, get questions answered about things you're stuck on. You can share screens, present documents, apply virtual whiteboards to brainstorm ideas and organize your study projects more easily.

8.     You can review course materials repeatedly at any instant - Even if it is 3AM, you have access to online course materials such as videos, podcasts, written materials to revise course concepts and theory you might be stuck on. It's so much easier to flip through screens, use the "find" function to quickly zero in on relevant paragraphs quickly and take online notes to help you understand and grab the class materials.

9.     You can learn at your own pace - The pressure to keep up with other students in a face to face environment is removed. You might knock out some courses because the concepts and material are easy for you to understand, or you may need extra time to make some of the more abstract concepts stick with you for future learning.

10. You can develop self-discipline - Without the commitment of attending physical classes, you'll be forced to learn self-discipline by managing your time and tasks. If you need to apply time management tools like scheduling time and tasks in an online calendar, this is a life-long skill that will help you beyond getting your degree and your personality development.
