In many parts of the world, online learning in booming. Although some people might consider it negative, I believe it to be extremely beneficial. Not only because this is cost effective and flexible, but also because disabled people can seek knowledge.
There are multiple benefits associated with learning online. Firstly, this development consume minimum cost. As we can learn even from home rather than travelling to a particular institute. Take an example of South Korea where 70% students take online classes mainly because the cost of learning online is half of the cost of learning in an institution. Thus, this benefit I believe has a potential to make this development a positive one.
Secondly, apart from the previous advantage, flexibility is another major advantage of this development. As it enable students to learn anytime in the day. For instance, in 2018, in Germany 78% students were learning online and also doing part time job for livings. Hence, flexible hours for learning can be labelled as the most significant advantage, giving this development a positive look.
Finally, this development in also beneficial for disabled people to a great extent. As they can learn from home.
To sum up, eventhough online learning might have some drawbacks too, but the benefits it brings in terms of cost effectiveness, flexibility, and for disabled people can make this development an overall positive one.
