(Also known as remote or distance learning)
Some of the main advantages include:
Flexibility
Online courses allow students to learn at their own pace and schedule, as they can access course materials and complete assignments whenever it is convenient for them.
Cost
Online courses are often less expensive than traditional in-person courses, as there are no transportation or relocation costs.
Access to a wider range of courses
Students who live in rural areas or who have busy schedules may have limited access to certain courses or programs. Online learning allows students to take courses from anywhere in the world.
Self-paced learning
Online courses allow students to work at their own pace and spend as much time as they need on each lesson.
