Education

I like taking online courses as it gives us flexibility to manage our own time. After having a family; learning anything, especially a professional course is very challenging. Because, I don't have much time left for learning in the classroom anymore. There are a myriad of things to do besides studying.

Nowadays, people are blessed to have online/distance education. It makes everything easier.  All we need to do is time management, self-discipline, motivation, a good Internet connection and stay focused. But, everything has two sides, good and bad, pros and cons and advantages as well as disadvantages.

Even with the best teacher an online course still cannot be enough. I don't think distance education is the way of the future, because some things need to be taught in the classroom with practice. For example, we wouldn't like to trust an online course done by doctors or engineers or even drivers. It's like taking a chance with our lives.

Nevertheless, occupations such as teaching; the teachers can continuously update and upgrade their education online.  This is acceptable and understandable. Otherwise, we shouldn't trust all distance education programs and courses.
