Online education

Should we take online educations ?. It's a new way of thinking about highet education. Lectures, assignments, discusstions, exams, presentations, even the reading are available online, and no face to face interaction with the instructor. With a computer accessing the Internet, we can almost have classes every where, every time. We don't have to wake up so early in the morning, don't have to worry about missing the bus, etc. Consequently, many people like it because of some following advantages.

One of the best advantages of online education is convenience. Online courses are a form of distance learning. The courses are available where we are. We don't have to go everywhere or go to schools to study, because it comes to us. We can set suitable time, so we can work the class around our schedule. It's is great for working people who still want to learn. It makes us comfortable. we can sit and go everywhere, even at home to study, instead of being at school. We can enjoy ourselves while studying such as : eat whenever we are hungry, drink whenever we are thirsty, and relax whenever we are tired, etc. Yes, we can access an online course at the time and place that is most convenient to us. we can move around, can be transferred anywhere or travel extensively and still access online courses.

Another advantage of online education is that we can save money. While we are studying traditional courses, we have to go to school and go back home day by day. That things cost us a lot of fees of transportation, fuel, bus tickets. Or when we are on the way to school, we might have accidents or some troubles with our bike, it once again cost money to repair or fix it. Furthermore, we also spend a lot of money on our foods and meals while studing at school. If we are at home studying, we can save money because we can avoid bad lucks come from accidents which require a lot of money for treatments, avoid repair fees, we can have meals which are cheaper cooked by our moms. The fees of the courses are also lower. It is the best choice for those come from rural areas and disavantage families.

If online education were the best choice for every person every time, we wouldn't need school, would we?. On the other hand, there are also many people don't agree that thinking because online education doesn't make students self motivated, responsible for their learning, and interaction specific skills. It is true because students do not have the environment in which they can face to face argue the issuse provided, the environment of working in a group that makes them more responsible, or a chance to improve social skills. However, today technologies help us have a new view of online education because they have made a software which supports online education called "groupware" and they are on the way perfecting it. With this stuff, we will be transfer to a virtual environment. It is easy for both the student and instructors to master because it provides us options which we can use to study effectively. Moreover, it has an ideal voice system which is especially made for discussions, does lead to many successes. We can talk, discuss, argue comfortably without fears, shyness that many people have to encounter in tradition education. Now, it is over. "Groupware" also supply us high-tech mini WC from which we can contact, see our friends and post or transfer datas, files related to our learning. We will feel it familiar because online education contains what traditional one provided.

In my opinion, this stuff does really a hit. We now can have online education as good as traditonal one. This breakthrough brings a lot of benefits for many students and other people who still want to study. Maybe in the future, there will be another inventions that help us study more effectively instead of studying in school as we used to do.
