E-learning: for-and-against essay by 9 D

Nowadays Internet is the biggest resource to everything, even to learn online. That's called e-learning, which basically means learning through the web. There are several courses, such as languages, computer programming and even gardening courses. However, having online lessons has advantages and disadvantages.

There are several advantages. For example we can study without leaving home and then do not spend money on transports or spend too much time in traffic jams. Moreover, all can use it even the disable people. Furthermore, you can make your own schedule and work at your own pace. Also if we have doubts we can use video calls, or a chat room to talk to the teacher.

On the other hand, there are disadvantages. For instance computer problems can make students lose their lessons. And they also have to be able to afford a computer in order to access to the course. Another drawback is the loneliness, as there is no communication face-to-face; and spending too much time in front of the computer is bad for our health.

All in all, we believe that e-learning is a useful way to learn new things but it does not substitutes a classroom because you can learn more by sharing opinions and ideas.
