Many people join distance-learning programmes and study at home, but some people think that it cannot bring the same benefit as attending colleges or universities does. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

, I totally disagree with

is that joining educational courses online is, in fact, more beneficial for many people in saving

and online courses enable us to manage our schedules more efficiently.

First,

taking part in distance-learning programs and studying at

home

costs us less

time

, when we consider having a long journey to the halls and classrooms where lectures are taking happen; we can save a lot of

time

by skipping the process of heading toward the places. A good example of

this

is; amid COVID-19, all the conferences and lectures have been cancelled to stop the infection and,

instead

, they were switched to online meetings and lectures, which enabled lots of workers and officers, who

would have had

or at their workplace on

Furthermore

, online courses are more flexible because we do not have to consider the place.

That is

and book a conference room, and we often find ourselves not being able to decide the schedule in the way we wish because the conference room has been already occupied until several weeks ahead.

This

is not the case in online studying; everyone can join on smartphones, laptops or desktops anywhere in a good Internet environment. In conclusion,

while

some individuals argue that joining distance-learning programmes and studying at

home

cannot outweigh the benefit of directly and physically attending colleges and universities, in reality, the former produces many more benefits than the latter because it is

time

-saving and its flexibility of schedules makes it much easier for many people to work.
