2. FAQ: LCMS FOR HCCB
Question : Is online learning feasible?
Answer: E-learning is an excellent option in education, particularly when there
are hindrances to traditional learning situations. For example, some people
wish to continue their educations but do not live within driving distance of a
college or university and don't find it feasible to relocate. E-learning is a viable
alternative for these students.
What are the advantages of online learning ?
Convenience is one of the major advantages of e-learning. It allows students to work and
learn at their own pace without the unyielding time restrictions of traditional learning.
Because e-learning provides access to learning materials at any time, students have the
flexibility to schedule around families, jobs and other activities. Another major benefit of
e-learning is the accessibility it provides. Students can learn from anywhere in the world.
This is an especially important consideration for students who wish to study in a different
country. In addition, because e-learning can be done from home, students have less
clothing and driving expenses than with traditional learning.
3. FAQ: LCMS FOR HCCB
What are the disadvantages of online learning ?
A major disadvantage to e-learning is the self-discipline it requires.
While being able to work at your own pace can be an advantage, it
can also be a disadvantage. This is especially true for students who
have difficulty with time management and procrastination.
These students tend to be more successful with the structure of
traditional learning.
Another disadvantage to e-learning is the technology involved.
Some people do not have ready access to a computer and Internet
connection.
And some who do have the required equipment feel ill-equipped
to use it. Lack of interaction between teacher and student is another
drawback to e-learning. Some students need the immediate
feedback that interaction
