many people use distance-learning programs (study materials, the internet, and so on) to study at home, but some think that it cannot bring the same benefits of attending school, college or university. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
The internet has infiltrated almost all aspects of our lives, particularly the education sector. Whilst proponents of online education believe that it has potential to replace conventional study, others argue that distance-learning programs are unlikely to bring about the benefits which are identical to the face to face attendance at schools or universities. It is my contention that although physical participation at classes can provide a few benefits, however they can be interchanged by online education system.
