why online classes are better
Computer technology has opened up a new world of learning opportunities for one and all. You hardly have a reason today to stay away from the fountain of knowledge that has literally walked to your doorstep.
Flexibility and malleability is a very attractive feature of online courses. In a regular class room, a student has to learn what the teacher has planned for the day. In online learning, you decide what you would like to study on a particular day.
Moreover, online classes are far less expensive than campus coaching. You get the same degree for far less than you would get through traditional system. The student also saves time, money and energy on transportation, as the classes take place at home itself. Online classes can be real fun. The availability of various audio-video clips as a course material makes learning thoroughly enjoyable. The online classes can provide a real cross-culture experience. The students also have an opportunity to share and discuss various topics through online message boards and blogs.
The biggest advantage of online classes is that one can easily earn and study together. Hence, no more drop outs from the school or college due to lack of funds or time! One can easily manage one’s time in such a manner that there is little scope of clash between one’s work and online studies. If the student is tired after day’s work, he can afford to have a siesta and start his online class when he feels like. This luxury is unimaginable in a regular class room. This facility surely increases one’s output and retention power.
