ONLINE EDUCATION OR

E-LEARNING.

PRESENTED BY: SAM


WHAT IS ONLINE EDUCATION?

As per Encylopedia, Online education is a flexible


instructional delivery system that encompasses any kind of
learning that takes place via the Internet. Online learning
gives educators an opportunity to reach students who may
not be able to enroll in a traditional classroom course and
supports students who need to work on their own schedule
and at their own pace.
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF
LEARNING ONLINE

Online education offers many positive benefits since students:


● have flexibility in taking classes and working at their own pace and
time
● face no commuting or parking hassles
● learn to become responsible for their own education with information
available at their fingertips
● find the submission of assignments easy and convenient
● are more apt to voice their own opinions and share and debate issues
with other students, as well as learn from other students during the
group discussions
Possible negative effects of learning online are that
some students:

● may miss the face-to-face interaction with the


instructor and among students
● may prefer to attend traditional classes with an
instructor who teaches and guides them through the
course
● find access to the necessary technology challenging
and the availability of technical support limited
10 BENEFITS OF ONLINE EDUCATION

1.) Work from anywhere, at any time


•This is the most appealing benefit of online education for students with many duties to
balance. Since everything is available online, accessing class materials and submitting
work is very convenient. Exactly when and where this takes place is up to student, as
long as assignment due dates are met.
•2.) Review lectures instantly
•It’s easy for minds to wander during a lecture. University of California psychologist
Jonathan Schooler found that students lose focus about 5 times in a 45-minute class
session. In many online programs, however, students can review words from
professors instantly, either by rewinding the audio or video or by reading the transcript
that accompanies the lecture.
•3.) Less intimidating
•Many students in classroom environments aren’t comfortable speaking in public. In an
online environment, it can be much easier to share thoughts with others. With 74
percent of people suffering from speech anxiety, according to the National Institute of
Mental Health, online education tends to foster better class participation.
•
4.) More time to think before sharing
•Online schooling still has a discussion element to it, often in a forum or discussion
board. On-campus students have to choose a stance or formulate a thought in class
quickly, and sometimes speak before they’ve fully examined everything. In an online
environment, students can spend as much time as they want thinking about and honing
their own ideas. This can lead to greater confidence and more elegant discussions.
•
•5.) Focus on ideas
•With an estimated 93 percent of communication being non-verbal, online students
don’t have to worry about body language interfering with their message. While body
language can be effective sometimes, academics are more about ideas, and online
education eliminates physical judgments that can cloud rational discussion.

•6.) Group communication


•Many degree programs today incorporate some sort of group project or teamwork.
Working with others on-campus or locally means coordinating specific days and
times so everyone can attend. Distance learning programs, however, foster virtual
communication and allow students to work with team members via email, chat
rooms and other easy-to-use methods.
•
•7.) Flexible learning schedule
•On-campus students may have to endure in-person lectures that last hours. While
not all online programs are built the same, many use PowerPoint presentations
and other media that students can digest in pieces. In other words, a student can
experience the first half of a lesson one day, and the second half the next day. This
can be especially helpful for those who don’t enjoy sitting in one place for too long.

•8.) Cost
•Although the cost of an online course can be as much or more than a traditional
course, students can save money by avoiding many fees typical of campus-based
education, including lab fees, commuting costs, parking, hostels, etc. Imagine
living in Dhule but going to college in Mumbai.
•
•9.) Diversity
•Traditional students are often limited to courses and teachers close to
home. The online student can take a French course from a teacher in France
and a travel-writing course from a writer who’s actually out travelling, without
having to leave home.
•
10.) Instructor availability
•At traditional colleges and universities, talking to a professor after class can
be challenging. Yes, instructors have office hours, but it’s often only an hour
or two each week, with too many students waiting for attention. While
professors who teach online may also have set hours for student interaction,
web-based technologies make conversing with multiple students at once
much easier. Professors can also hop online at night or during intermissions
to address questions, leave comments and more.
•
11. As in situation of lockdown online education is safest
platform to get educated and many university have
started using this system of education and hence the
losses are minimised for the future of India(students).
FUTURE OF ONLINE EDUCATION...
Online teaching is here to stay. Many students prefer the online classroom since
it offers flexibility in their busy schedules. With the proliferation of information
and knowledge, students must become lifelong learners in today's world, and
online education plays an important role in helping individuals access the
learner-centered and self-directed instruction.a
E-learning has a promising future; it could be on its way to become the next
sunrise industry. However, it is highly unlikely that it will replace traditional
learning; rather both models will work in tandem. The trio of Content, Delivery and
Access will act as a change-agent in shaping up online education
