Topic > The Advantages of Online Colleges - 3146

It is a well-known fact that sometimes teachers are unable to answer challenging questions and students have to search for answers on their own. When I, as a student, experienced the same thing, I decided to learn about such topics from Internet sources to complement what we had studied in class. The result was surprising; Even though I didn't study hard in class, I was able to pass the exams successfully. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that online education can easily surpass traditional, classroom-based education. However, there are some people who believe that it is impossible. I compared the pros and cons of 2 educational styles and identified in which field they will be useful and in which their implementation will cause harm. It is fair to assume that online education is more accessible, less expensive and more democratic than classroom study, and therefore should be promoted more. On the other hand, traditional education has many advantages, such as real social interaction, which is not covered by online education. However, it seems that combining them would be the wisest solution, since many educational fields have different characteristics. For example, medical lessons require more practice in the laboratory, while history lessons can be taught via the Internet. It is essentially important to understand the differences between them, because we, all graduates and I, must choose the university wisely. Online education, especially online universities, has numerous advantages, which allow them to easily replace traditional education. One of the main reasons why people choose online degrees is the flexibility of the courses. As an online student, you are no longer dependent on the time schedule. Furthermore, those who have less free time b...... middle of paper ...... made assumptions based on generalizations. My investigation also has some limitations. There are only 50 people interviewed via questionnaire, it is difficult to rely on this type of data. Next time I would seriously expand my data. The age and specialization of the people interviewed ranges from teenagers to adults and from academic experts to school students. I asked 7 specialists in the field of education, although I think that is not enough. Another search method: Google search is not perfect. In some cases it showed me banner ads, but not a source. However, it is more useful than other search tools. In conclusion, my personal perspective on online universities has changed. I thought online universities had no chance of becoming a real education hub. Despite this, in the course of my work I understood that, if a few things are changed, they could even surpass traditional universities.
