These days, many university courses are offered through the internet. Some people think that online teaching has more advantages than conventional classroom teaching or lectures, while others claim that there are significant disadvantages. Do the benefits of online teaching outweigh the disadvantages?

In recent years, large numbers of online

courses

are available in many universities. It is often discussed as a controversial issue revolving around whether it is beneficial or there are more drawbacks to distance learning. In

this

essay, I will discuss both views in detail and

also

discuss why I think there are more disadvantages than advantages. On the one hand, students can get large numbers of benefits by taking e-learning studies.

Firstly

, streaming web-based

courses

provides remarkable convenience for students. Since they do not need to be physically in schools, they can save their time and money. To give a clear example, a student does not have to pay for the transportation systems to attend the school which saves the transportation fare and commuting time.

Secondly

, it gives learners immediate access to the faculties. Learners can instantly reach out to the professors with questions and view

class

documents on the internet.

For instance

, if there is something they do not understand in the field of their study, they are able to ask through the internet. Unlike with ones who attend in-person classes, online students typically do not need to wait until the scheduled

class

time to meet a professor or peers.

On the other hand

, there are some problems that emerge along with positive aspects.

To begin

with, there is no physical contact with classmates.

Consequently

, that may lead to being reticent and taciturn.

For example

, some research shows that 70% of pupils who take online

courses

are found to be more difficult to communicate with and are generally described as laconic. On top of that, they are more likely to encounter technical issues during

class

. Due to the throng of people attending the same platform simultaneously, problems with network connections or servers may arise. To exemplify, some

a tinge of dissatisfaction. To conclude,

although

there are some advantages to online

courses

such

as convenience and immediate access to the faculties, there are less in-person interaction and technical issues as well. I personally believe the drawbacks overshadow the benefits.
