Many people are only being told of the advantages of online education, they are not told of the disadvantages. One of the major disadvantages of online education is probably the fact that you are trying to combine working with it.Just take a look at how busy most workers are. The average person has little time to be engaged in other activities even if those activities will bring more money and benefits for him or her. So because there is hardly no time to attend a regular class, many people turn to online education. But hang on! What is often given as reason for going for online education, I mean lack of time, happens to be the same reason why online education has been found difficult by many people. If you are going to a normal school, you have to attend the classes according to the pre-determined time. It is compulsory for you to attend all the classes, do all the assignments given according to schedule or you may have to repeat the course. With an online education, you are inde
pendent and there in nobody watching you to ensure that you do things according to schedule. Some guidance may be provided for you initially but only you is responsible for going through the course. Since you can work on your pace, many people could not seem to do the work according to schedule due to procrastination. The temptation to put off work till a convenient time becomes greater if there are no time requirements. Consequently, you may see yourself spending weeks, months or years in some cases without completing the material to get credit for the course.Its true you have paid for the chance to learn, but you won’t be able to do something worthwhile in online education if you lack motivation. Another downside of online education is the lack of interaction.You don’t’ have the chance to be in the class and interact with other students to hear questions and answers. Depending on the online course you register for, this may not be an important issue, but it could well be a determining factor in deciding on whether to go for online education or not.
