Prons and Cons of Online Education

Prons and Cons of Online Education

With the budding of online education, more and more people begin to claim that traditional

education will finally cede ground to online education. As a highly disputed choice, online

education has both prons and cons.

Indeed, online education enjoys some prominent advantage.

Firstly, it enables people in any corner of the world watch high quality courses by elite professors.

People who have a keen desire for prestigious universities, like Harward and Yale can now watch

their courses at home.

offered in a brick-and-mortar classroom will never enjoy the privilege. I was ever greatly

astounded by a brand new idea of a Canadian student and appreciate it a lot.

Meanwhile, the disadvantages of online education can never be overlooked.

The first con is high drop out. Without the regulation of teachers, learners themselves may find it

difficult to preserve in finishing a whole course. They tend to distract their attention or even shift

to do other more interesting things halfway, just leaving the online course video on. In this way,

the learning quality cannot be guaranteed. When listening to online politics courses, I am often

susceptible to the urge to go online shopping or even watching a film, which I will never do in a

real classroom.

The second one is massive loss of teaching jobs and breakdowns of schools. With students

instruction. However, I made it in one day when my roommate carefully taught me in person.

To conclude, in the future, traditional education may cede some ground to online education but

will never substituded!
