Since the outbreak of COVID-19, online learning has been the current trend in education.
Obviously, this form of education provides a lot of benefits for learners at various levels.
Firstly, online courses are great for people who want to advance their education while
working. Unlike traditional classes whose lectures are scheduled at a specific time of the
day, learners of distance courses can decide their own schedule so that it fits their working
hours. Secondly, virtual learning helps learners to save a lot of money. For example, they can
get the right qualifications without having to traveling a long distance, therefore reducing
transportation costs. Some universities also offer students enrolling in online programmes a
discount off the regular tuition fees. Finally, students have access to course materials
repeatedly. While their note-taking skills can be boosted in traditional lecturing sessions,
students can revisit video presentations if they fail to understand some of the content. These
lecture videos can be used as a supplemental tool to help with completing assignments.
