Some universities offer online courses as an alternative to classes delivered on campus. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Certain educational institutes provide distance learning scheme through online
studies
of curriculum courses which can be an altar of institutional
studies
, which can be taught on the university's premises. I personally reckon that rendering online
study
has good and bad aspects, which I can explicate in the following paragraphs through some practical examples.
To begin
with, the
first
and foremost beneficial outcome of online
studies
is that it confers a great opportunity to teach a myriad of
students
from every corner of the world, which can be delivered at any time, anywhere, and in any condition.
This
can be simplified by saying that on-campus
studies
can be taught at a particular time and at the same place which is especially a classroom
study
. For illustration, in order to provide an education in
this
pandemic situation, there are a plethora of universities that use a digital platform to continue their
studies
through various intermediate tools
such
as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Duo, etc.
Furthermore
, due to
this
type of development we see a reduction in the usage of fossil fuel consumptions, which can have a positive outcome to improve the quality of air in our environment.
On the other hand
, Distance learning has certain shortcomings which can not underestimate by scholars and teachers.
Firstly
, scholars believe that there is plenty of distractions come when we
study
through online mode, which can be reduced the continuity of class,
hence
the pupils can not concentrate during lecture.
For instance
, there are a few cases where we encounter background noise which drop the attention of the
study
.
Secondly
, some education providers say that sometimes
students
just join the class for showing their availability.
Such
as,
students
do other recreational activities when their classes are running, just putting their audio on mute and disable their video so that can do whatever they want during live classes.
Finally
, Online
studies
prerequisite the internet connection and other gadgets like laptop, microphone and camera, which can make the online
study
little expensive, and
this
development become costly for economically deprived people. To conclude, online
study
is one of the best ways to learn
students
from anywhere without going to university's campus but I think every development has a few negative aspects.
Hence
, online
study
can not change the way classes can be delivered on campus earlier.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
