Mark Thomas deleted FILEUPLOAD-308: ----------------------------------- > Reasons To Fall In Love With Studying Online > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: FILEUPLOAD-308 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-308 > Project: Commons FileUpload > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Amber bolton > Priority: Major > > More than 6 million students in the US [study > online|https://myhomeworkwriter.com/]. Online learning began as early as the > late ’80s, and since then, the number of online students increases year after > year. However, it wasn’t until the March 2020 COVID-19 crisis that the world > paid more attention to e-learning. Online education platforms have since seen > a spike in user numbers as educational institutions are forced to turn to > e-learning due to the lockdown. > With the many advantages that online learning offers, there is no turning > back from it. Here are reasons to fall in love with studying online. > *Manageability* > Online classes seamlessly weave into day-to-day activities. This is > particularly significant for professionals who juggle career and family > duties. Research has proved that 60% of online learners are professionals > seeking career advancement, promotions, or daring to switch careers entirely. > Learning in the comfort of their home [saves the learners time and > trouble|https://customwritingbee.com/]. Online learning also allows learners > to take extra courses because they can better manage their time. > *Cost-effective.* > Since online classes are virtual, they are charged lower than physical > classes. Moreover, their virtual nature means no extra costs are incurred > when studying. There’s no traveling to school or paying for meals and > boarding fees. The only expenses incurred in online classes are tuition fees > and internet costs. E-Learning has made [education affordable and > accessible|https://tutoringprofessors.com/] to more people worldwide. > *Flexibility* > The average online student is 32 years old, and out of all the online > students, 54% take part-time courses. Online classes are very flexible > compared to in-person classes, which is why middle-aged adults love them. > Online students get to choose their learning hours and learn at their desired > pace. In-person classes are mostly inconsiderate of the learner’s different > cognitive capabilities. Therefore, slow students never get to catch up with > the average and bright students. Students determine the progress of their > online classes. Online courses are easier to schedule around the learner’s > lifestyle. > *Accessibility* > With [online learning|https://gradewriters.com/], the location of student and > instructor means nothing. E-learning has made it possible for learners to > take courses offered anywhere in the world. > Learners are spoilt for choice in online education. A learner only needs an > internet-connected device to access any course they desire. Some universities > offer complete online undergraduate courses, allowing learners the > opportunity to earn degrees in their homes. Many graduates have acquired a > second degree through an online course. > *Lower Student To Instructor Ratio.* > A lecture hall holding 300 students is a likely scenario in traditional > in-person lectures. However, with online classes, these numbers can go as low > as 25 students in a class. It reduces the burden on the instructors and > minimizes the gap between instructor and student. Based on this, it is easy > to see why students might get more out of virtual classes than in-person > lectures. Since everything is done online, students can efficiently work with > their instructors for better performance. > *Comfort* > Is there anything more comfortable than studying at home? Online learning > lets students decide where to study. Learners have the luxury of learning in > their houses, at restaurants, in a library, etc. The convenience is > remarkable. > *Better Assessment Methods* > Most online courses do not include exams. Instead, assignments and tasks are > used to assess the learner’s progress. This approach feels better for most > learners. With no exam pressure, online students can relax and thus learn > better. > *Motivation* > Online learning opens up opportunities and inspiration. Most people want to > learn, but they do not want to be in class. The convenience and flexibility > of online courses motivate some people to study and even form a studying > habit. Online learning has made education seem easier and less daunting. > > *Taking Full Responsibility* > Students taking online classes are entirely in charge of their education. > While this freedom might be destructive to some learners, it can be highly > advantageous to others. All that is needed is discipline. The learner > determines when to begin and end their classes. Some learners even fast-pace > their education, something that is not possible with in-person classes. > There are many reasons to choose online classes over in-person classes. Like > everything else, online classes face challenges too, like distractions, lack > of peer motivation, and the possibility of quitting. The choice to take > online or physical classes is bound to the learner’s goals. The learner > ultimately determines the success or failure of a teaching method. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
