So, with a good internet connection and laptop, you have access to thousands of courses from numerous schools literally around the world. The following are key reasons that you should study online.
Convenience, Comfort and Security
What could be more convenient than attending a class from your home, office or wherever you are? No commuting, no fighting inclement weather – basically no hassle. All you need is an internet connection, your laptop and perhaps a conducive location to study.
Plus, what could be more comfortable than learning from your own home? Not worrying about your clothes or how you look? And of course, the immediate access to your own kitchen and bathroom.
With the outbreak of COVID, there is a legitimate concern to be confined to a physical classroom with a bunch of other students. Online education eliminates this concern.
No Geographic Boundaries and Huge Subject Matter Access
In the past, if you wanted to study at a certain school, you had to live either on or near the physical campus. If that school was far away, you needed to actually move and disrupt your life. With online learning, you can take courses from many schools located around the world – and not have to move or give up your job or friends.
Because there are no geographic boundaries, you have access to a huge multitude of course subjects, degree options and learning methods. If the school teaches what you want to learn and they offer online classes, it is now available to you even halfway around the world.
Flexibility Of Time and Learning Methods
Many online classes are taught via recorded lessons. This allows you to “attend” class at a time that is suitable and convenient for you. Talking to your teacher is done online during their office hours and if that does not fit your schedule you can usually email your teacher at any time and correspond that way. Also, some online schools have “rolling admissions”, which allows you to register and start classes at many times during the year.
Online studying is carried out in many different ways. Some courses will utilize independent study in coordination with your teacher or to the more traditional large class lecture method, via streaming and/or recorded. With some research, you should be able to find online methods of study that are good for you.
Saving Money
While some online schools charge an equivalent tuition to on-campus students, other schools can be less expensive to attend than a regular physical school. Also, there are online schools that will give you credit for your life or work experience, reducing the amount of classes (and thus the cost) needed to complete your desired degree. Last but not least, you will not have the expense of commuting and other on-campus related costs.
