Importance & Benefits of Learning Online

Online Learning 

Online Learning is similar to attending a college or school or any University. The only difference is that instead of attending a class physically, one will attend it virtually. 

Nowadays, online coaching or courses are greatly in demand due to technological innovations & advancement for 2 decades. It is mostly preferred by students or working professionals who want to follow their passion/career or advance in their profession. 

If one would like to take an online course, one needs to evaluate the Pros and Cons of online courses before making the right decision.

Pros:

1. Increased Flexibility - It helps you to schedule your time for your coursework, Job, family, and recreation without any hassles.  

2. Saves cost & time- One can just take advantage and learn from the comfort of the home.  One just needs a PC/Laptop and a high-speed Wifi connection.  Moreover, online courses are less expensive than one attending a physical class.

Traveling to an institute or academy is not required, hence one can reduce travel expenses and also get more time. One can use the spare time to pursue a hobby or spend with one's family.

4. Choose courses from a wide range - One has many options to choose an online course that one wants to pursue.

5. Optimizes focus - It is easier to focus on online learning as there will be less or no distractions than attending a noisy physical class. 

6. Direct Access to Coursework - The coursework is stored in a database and can be accessed with a click or two. You can also learn at your own pace without any disruptions.

7. Instant Doubt Resolution - One can solve their doubts instantly in an online class in the presence of the online coach/mentor.

Cons:

1. Lack of focus on the screen: It is easier to read a book for a long period of time. But watching the screen for long periods, students may lose concentration and tend to get distracted. Hence, coaches need to make the online learning session interactive, and engaging and add humor from time to time to keep the students engrossed for longer periods. 

2. Technical Issues: Another disadvantage is the technical issues often experienced by the students, especially in rural areas. One needs to assure a good and consistent wifi connection in the study area.  

3. Sense of Isolation: One feels isolated while studying online for a longer period of time rather than being in a physical classroom full of students. In order to eliminate this feeling they have many virtual platforms with interactive and live sessions from time to time to socialize with all learners. 

4. Requires Time Management Skills:  One requires self-discipline and time management skills to handle his learning schedules and other tasks. Sometimes, learners tend to procrastinate and are left behind in the coursework.
