Some universities now offer their courses on the Internet so that people can study online. Is this a positive or negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In many countries , there are several educational institutions that provide online learning for students.

Although

I think that

this

development may have some obvious negative consequences , I believe that the advantages of online education can outweigh its disadvantages . On the one hand , there are some reasons that why some people think that

this

tendency is not suitable for learners . The strongest reason is that online learning provides no face-to-face interaction and

then

learners will not have the possibility to develop their interpersonal skills by in-person communication which remains crucial for their personality growth and development and

also

for their career .

In addition

,

this

method of education demands a high level of self-discipline and commitment which are not present in all scholars ,

as a result

, the chance of not attending courses or not performing their home assessments may become higher in

this

case , and

then

it will affect their academic achievement .

On the other hand

, in spite of these arguments , there are multiple reasons that make online schooling more suitable and advantageous .

Firstly

,

this

method remains a comfortable way of learning .

For example

, scholars become able to attend courses without leaving their homes , wearing their comfortable pyjamas and enjoying drinking a cup of tea ,

consequently

,learning becomes more enjoyable and convenient for students .

Secondly

, individuals from deprived families who cannot pay all fees of education become able to pursue their learning online , because it is cheaper and sometimes it costs nothing , only the internet and Laptop . In conclusion , despite that studying online may have some adverse effects on students , I believe that it is the best choice for learning and the benefits that it can bring exceed its drawbacks .
