tread wholeheartedly and enabling people with a better learning experience around the globe. But

For instance

, a student living in India wants to study an executive diploma course which is available in online mode by a Canadian university, so the student can take

advantage. E-Courses give liberty to the people to improve their skill set without compromising their self-interests.

Therefore

, the provision of online courses is assisting many students around the world. The disadvantage of online study is the lack of an environment that often results in losing concentration. A teacher cannot pay attention to individuals which is possible in a classroom and sometimes people indulge in other activities. For illustration, a student might start playing games on a mobile along with the online lecture.

This

happens because our minds get diverted as people don’t feel the fear of the faculty and do whatever they want to do. In a nutshell, the lack of concentration varies from person to person and one can practice exercises to amplify their focus. To conclude, e-learning provides enormous pros and one shouldn’t look to the negative side when it comes to acquiring knowledge.
