Online and offline education
online education
advantages of online education.
You can study anywhere in the world: at home on the couch, in the country, while on vacation or on a business trip.
And it’s also cool that you can not waste time on the road.
You can study at your own pace, because online recordings are saved and you won't miss a thing. It's just a matter of your motivation.
If you are an introvert, then it is easier to decide on this training option. You don't even have to use the camera to talk to the teacher,
Reducing operating costs
Distance education does not require renting a room and hiring additional staff. The choice of teachers is not limited by geography - the organizer can invite specialists from any city or country. In this case, you do not have to pay for travel and accommodation. The teachers themselves also save on the road to the classroom.
Attract more students
In face-to-face classes, the number of participants is limited by the capacity of the audience, and thousands of people can be invited to the online school at the same time. When it comes to corporate training, it becomes possible to conduct classes simultaneously for all branches. For-profit educational institutions can earn more in this way.
Curriculum automation
Another advantage of training can be considered a reduction in routine. Educational platforms reduce the burden on the teacher by automating template work. For example, they automatically generate reports on attendance and performance, check tests, and send notifications about the next class.
Large selection of teaching tools
Distance education does not limit the teacher in the choice of tools. In LMS, you can also upload presentations and documents, share your screen image, chat, and moderate users. All this makes the lessons more diverse and helps to convey the material convincingly.
Monitoring progress and attendance
In online education, you can test students' knowledge using tests, interactive simulators, an oral exam via video link, and practical tasks on an interactive whiteboard. Some services also allow you to track the activity of members, view visitor statistics for the entire group and individual people.
disadvantages of online education
Some programs are very expensive.
Not all formats have feedback from the coach.
There is no opportunity to practice "in the field".
There is no psychological support.
Not everyone has computers.
Lack of live communication
Some people need personal contact with other participants and the teacher. It will be especially difficult for such students in online learning if there are no real-time synchronous lessons and the ability to immediately get an answer to a question.
The solution is to alternate recorded lessons with synchronous webinars and training. In addition, in the field of online education, it is important to establish a permanent communication channel: a chat for course participants in the messenger, a section for questions on the platform.
Lack of self-organization skills
The main disadvantages of e-learning include the lack of discipline and many distractions at home. Remind participants of the objectives at the beginning of each module to motivate them to complete the material. Tell what knowledge the participant will gain and what benefits they will bring.
The need for technical training
The disadvantages of online learning can also be attributed to the lack of the necessary equipment among the participants. For example, a reliable laptop, webcam or headset.
Limited choice of disciplines
Some specialties are not available in online schools. Although e-learning is developing even in medicine. In particular, telemedicine services allow medical students to remotely monitor operations in a remote format.
Too much information
In online education, the format of micro-lessons is often used. Some students are tempted to go through everything at once. There is too much information, which often leads to a loss of motivation.
Technical difficulties
Another disadvantage of e-learning can be considered a sudden breakdown of equipment or problems with the Internet. This is not the main problem, because online schools usually keep records of the event.
Offline education
advantages of offline education.
