Technology gives students alternative choices to complete their education such as online education. In this digital age, many students and their teachers are embracing online learning way globally. Moreover, any person can complete his or her education from anywhere and anytime so that the online education has changed the world level of education because it depends on internet and that give opportunity for disabled and hardworking people to complete their education. However, online learning cannot be substitutive for the traditional classrooms because they are the basic and many people like to attend and discuss in person to understand and get what they need face-to-face. Moreover, this discussion does not include about the laboratories that you need to be on campus except computer laboratories. Even though, the traditional classrooms are the best for education, I support online education for many reasons.

First, online learning is very cheap compared to regular classroom learning. For instance, you just stay at home and study by your computer. In this way you cut expenses of carriage, rent and food. Also, the student can get a full time job to improve their income while they achieve their goals that can cater for their studies needs. For example, student can work full time job on the morning like eight hours. Then go back home and do the reading and the homework or research for his or her online courses without any stress. Furthermore, he or she avoids spending money to be on campus or to find a room near the campus for living, which is usually too expensive. This saves a lot of money for students.

In addition, online learning is very convenient for a lot of students because they can learn anywhere either in the workplace or at home. The learner gets the benefits from network environment because it includes a lot of stuffs. Scholars and lecturers in other institutes in the whole world can also share materials. Plus, It enables people with disabilities to undertake studies while at their residents. For instance, a crippled student does not need to travel all the way to the classroom but will access the same information just like any other regular student. Such disabled students also learn with high self-esteem as they are not stigmatized or victimized by their fellow students.

Moreover, the online courses enable learners to be a good time manager. Online classes require time management skills which helps the learner to stay within the course of the study. Taking online courses require a certain amount of trust in the program and a steadfastness that comes with self – drive and discipline. The learner must balance between classroom work and other works like office work and domestic chores. In addition, online courses allow a student to study at their own speed. This benefit eliminates the time restraint of attending a traditional class lecture which are allocated specified times. Students can also evaluate classrooms studies in details without hurry. In this way, they learn more at their free will. Online studying is beneficial for the students who are able to keep up with hard or quick learnt courses.

On the other hand, classroom education is easier compared to online learning. This is because the learning is active as the learner interacts one on one with the instructor or professor. In this way, they are able to acquire basic practical skills as articulated by their instructor or professor. For example, good communication skills through facial expressions and body movement. Also, the learner has a chance to ask questions and get an immediate feedback or a clear clarification to a certain problem.

In conclusion, both of in-class and online learning are very important. There is no doubt that in-class learning is the best choice for the most of the students. However, I encourage the educational institutions to adapt online learning to create new and unique opportunities for busy, working, or disable students. Online learning is great choice to save money and time and it has been proven to be a good choice to a lot of students.
