Q15 : University and colleges are now offering qualifications through distance learning from the Internet rather than teachers in classroom. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
Recently, the question of whether remote education is beneficial has become the subject of heated debate. Some people assert that although there are some advantages to receiving tertiary education on the Internet, these are outweighed by the disadvantages, while others argue otherwise. Personally, I wholeheartedly agree with the former stance. In the following essay, both views will be discussed before a conclusion is reached with my opinion.
On the one hand, those who claim that university and college students can benefit a great deal from attending online classes do so for several reasons. Proponents of this argument insist that the development of technology has revolutionised the way students can take lectures regardless of time and place as having access to the Internet is only needed. Furthermore, students are able to save time considering that commuting to and from school deprives them of a huge amount of time that would otherwise be spent on their studies.
My opinion, however, is that earning a bachelor's or master's degree on the Internet brings with it negatives. Perhaps the principal disadvantage is that online lectures prevent students from getting instant feedback from their professors, leading them to have difficulty revising for exams. In other words, a multitude of students would be more likely to struggle to have a tight grasp of their majors, which can even exert a detrimental influence on their academic performance. In addition, to provide a hypothetical example, if it were not for face-to-face lectures for students, it would be nearly impossible for them to build a strong relationship with classmates as well as senior students helping them develop interpersonal skills that will be invaluable in their future careers. To be more specific, mingling with others at university enables them not only to feel a sense of belonging but also to strengthen their bonds. In light of the above, I find these more persuasive.
In conclusion, it is undeniable that there are a variety of opinions about this topic. However, after considering this matter in a careful manner, I fully support the view that earning certificates through distance education for the reasons discussed above.
