Recently, many online learning platforms are used by many universities globally instead of traditional fave- to- face classes. In my opinion, l believe virtual learning helps reduce cost and stress.
To begin with, one drawback of online learning is the low quality of internet. One May loose lesson done if the internet connection is not strong. They easily become disturbed and even loss focus along the way. Students also face various disturbances from the learning environment and also family members. Unlike traditional classroom where the learning structure is well organized and disciplined. For example, a research conducted by students from Maritime university indicates that most university students missed their their hi- tech lesson for three days , when there was general network breakdown.
However, inspite of it drawbacks, one studies can considerably decrease hidden cost such as commuting and housing . Scholars can sit in the comfort of their homes and offices to join lectures online. They do not have to travel long distances before reaching to their campuses for class. Many get frustrated and even loss focus after the stress of waking up very earlier to avoid the hectic traffic .In addition to the above, students will have enough time work during the day and catch with studies by listening to recorded sessions as many times they wish for better understanding.
In conclusion, online learning in tertiary education is a positive trend as this could help cut for students and also recorded lessons can be retrieved for future studies .
