When it comes to online learning, there are both advantages and disadvantages regarding online learning. The purpose of online learning is to bring education to the comfort of your home. Online learning also brings flexibility to one’s busy schedule.
While there are list of benefits with online learning, there are consequences with online learning. One factor is to take into account the age of the individual using online learning. While it is beneficial for an adult to use online learning, it heavily affects the developing minds of younger generations.
Since online courses bring education to their home, online courses can create a sense of isolation. The only communication the student has is towards their computer. That hinders the development of their social skills as they grow. They can’t communicate properly when they’re out with friends or out for work.
