In the last decade, there has been a great increase in the number and variety of online courses available to adults. This has been welcomed as a great opportunity by many students, however, other students see this courses as less effective than classroom teaching. What are the advantages and disadvantages?

The

last

ten years, there has been a rise in the numbers and diversity of online scholing programs who are accessible for adults. Nowadays,

instead

of going to

school

students

can learn from home. There are negative but

also

postive consequences of

this

development, I would argue the both sides in

this

essay. On the one hand, learning in your own pace from home is for many

students

a good opportunity.

For example

: they can have a job and going to

school

. They have more freedom to organize their own schedule, and

thus

they are more flexible to fill their own hours during the day.

Also

, they can following course not only from home but

also

from other places.

For instance

: They can go travelling around the world, and

therefore

they only need internet access for studying.

On the other hand

, by not going to

school

the

students

miss out social contact with other peers.

For example

:

students

need to learn to collaborate in a team. By working and learning only by themselves they get no experience to deal with other people's thoughts and opinions. Ofcourse,

this

impacts on the development of student to learning. Not only to learn to coperated with others but

also

not getting a network of people is something they missing out. You need to be inperson to get personal connectionwith others. All in all by not going to

school

and seeing and talking to

students

they miss out that part. In conclusion, the postieve point by following courses online is the flexibillity to follow the courses for

students

in their own speed and their place. The negative side is the

students

missing out networking and learn to work with others.
