We live in a world of technology and that has made it easier for us to have accessibility to many of the facilities. Education and learning have become relatively easier due to the intervention of the internet. Also, the interference of technology has made it easier for people to communicate and pass messages.
Throughout this process, there came out a trend of online tutoring. Many platforms were dedicated to the purpose and it did help the students as they started having more chances to clear their doubts and learn more.
Knowing the current scenario especially, where the world has been struck by a pandemic and people cannot go out, online education has become the only solution to go on with studying. This has helped people keep up with their syllabi and complete courses in time, but it has its own defaults.
Problems with online education:
One being, not everybody, especially in a developing and under-developed country, like in India, can afford being taught online. Technology serves at a price and where there are people who struggle to even eat one meal a day, they cannot think about having access to the internet. So, that is one flaw.
Secondly, online tutoring reduces the intimacy and increases the anonymity, due to materials or people not being there physically together, which is a way, perhaps due to psychological feeling, creates a gap, especially if it is mass tutoring. There might be an imbalance in-network or stability and interest may lower.
Also, there is a greater chance of being disciplined in physical classes with people, which also improves people's social skills, making it relatively easier to be a people's person.
Benefits of online education:
Now, coming to the benefits, there are many. As mentioned earlier, most of the students, in the past few months have been able to keep up with their education only through online learning.
There are so many certified online courses available all over, which are helpful to grow a skill simultaneously with the other part of our lives. These online courses are usually skill-oriented, which will pave a way for future job opportunities.
Online education is easier for documentation. There are many sources to download and record, which leaves us with more information to look at after a session is over. The Internet is a vast place with an abundance of information and more knowledge and online education benefits from it to benefit us.
There must be loads of people who for some or the other reason, cannot step out of their houses to study, and during those times, online education becomes a key to them. It's relatively less time consuming, because you don't have to go anywhere and sometimes the time is flexible, hence you can study based on your schedule, and you can choose your subjects flexibly as well.
Besides, all of these things, since online training is technology-based, our technical skills and abilities improve as well. One will know more about electronic devices and their process and their abilities, and they will better know to use the internet and also there is access to learn things that usually aren't talked about in the society.
It is resource free, you can directly get access to all the materials through e-books or pdfs, pointers can be noted digitally itself, assignments are digitally submitted, leading to minimizing the use of paper, and perhaps that saves trees. It's also fast-paced and dynamic.
It is relatively cheaper due to many reasons, and one of them being the saving of money that is put on commuting. There is no need to travel, and this fuel is saved as well. Secondly, you wouldn't need a uniform.
There are also more opportunities to open. Online education might have more number of courses than any physical institution, and the general reason is that online training camps have easier access to personnel and the resource person can give their lecture from anywhere.
To support online education, there are devices like mobile phones, computers, laptop, tablets etcetera, and there are so many sites which provide online training and education. This is a beneficial step for the ones who have the privilege of technology and the internet and it absolutely is a great way to learn more things in life.
In conclusion, online education is cheaper, time-saving, flexible, vast, open to more opportunities and skill development, and supportive. If only this can be available to the ones who have to give up on their education to support their family financially, this will be perfect and more worth it. Online education has the capability to give opportunities to people sitting in any corner of the world. One can do courses arranged by a different country altogether.
So, online education has provided a larger base to learn and a bigger platform for people. The Internet has helped so many people display their talents that it can be easily said that online education has the potential to help everyone with accessibility.
