Some universities now offer their courses on the Internet so that people can study online. Is this a positive or negative development?

Nowadays, online education is becoming more popular among some universities, so distance learning is an option for people. In my opinion,

this

can be regarded as more positive development than negative. On the one hand, I admit learning on the internet may entail some negative features.

For instance

, in some practical courses,

such

as the Fine Arts field, distance learning may not be the best option.

Secondly

, attending physical

classes

and communicating with other students and tutors could improve some social skills, and make the pupils become ready for using their knowledge in their future careers.

However

, I believe online

classes

offer more positive aspects.

Firstly

, learning on the internet expand the choices we could have.

For example

, these days a lot of people in developing countries have a chance to study online in some best global universities, and at the same time, they can be near their families.

Furthermore

, online

classes

are less time-consuming, especially in big cities, so people do have not to spend most of their time being present on-campus.

In addition

, virtual

classes

have less expenditure for universities, and for that reason, they charge students much lower than a regular course, and

this

could be the best option for those struggling with financial problems. In conclusion, I agree that online learning may have some drawbacks in practical courses or nurturing social skills, but I believe it should be regarded as a more positive development.
