E-learning - advantages and disadvantages by 9C

Due to technology advances we can have access to e-learning. However, like everything else there are for and against arguments.

Using e-learning has its advantages, such as students can study at their own pace. Then it is more convenient for people that can not go to lessons, because they can study at home. Moreover, it saves time and money and gives a certificate.

Although there are so many advantages, there is also some drawbacks. Firstly, there is no face-to-face interaction, which is important. Secondly, if you have a doubt you have to wait for the tutor to be online. Furthermore online courses depend too much on technology and if you damage your computer, you lose some lessons.

In conclusion, I think e-learning can be useful but it is not better than going to school, as in school you meet new people and you can share knowledge and discuss ideas.
