Online learning always remains in debate. It is often compared to the traditional education system and criticized for not being very effective but, amid COVID 19 pandemic reversed this thought. The only way forward to continue the education post-COVID 19 in schools or other educational institutions is throughย e-learning. The pandemic taught us thatย E-Learning is an effective alternative to traditional education.
To understand it better lets deep down into some benefits of online classes and how you can get the maximum benefit from the online classes.
- Less Cost: The e-learning method is less expensive as compared to traditional education. Where traditional school education has a huge fee structure, viz. books, tuition fees, transport, uniform, school maintenance, etc. online education just include tuition fees and internet charges.

- Variety of programs or courses option: Variety of courses are available on digital platforms. The Internet connects all the countries of the world and students can choose the course of their choice from any part of the globe. These courses are created by experts in their field and hence students can get quality education and become certified too. For lower classes, students can select some of the courses especially designed for them like English Skill Development, Maths Skill Development, Science Skill Development etc.
- Anytime, Anywhere: E-Learning is not restricted to any time or location. A student in the remotest area can learn anything at any time from any part of the world. He just needs a smartphone with an internet connection. Students can get the benefit of e-learning while traveling; they can also connect with teachers or other students for any doubt during vacations in their villages too.
- Flexible and self-paced learning: E-Learning gives the flexibility to learn when you are ready. There is no pressure that you have to attend the class if you are not interested in. Students can choose their time or they can record the lecture to listen to it later which is otherwise not possible in school classrooms. Also, parents can choose the best online courses for their child which interests them.ย SOFmindgraphโs online psychometric tests can help parents to understand the interest of their child and know which career option can be chosen for them after class 10th or 12th.
- More Focus & Confidence: When it comes to online classes students focus more than that in school classrooms. Due to a huge number of students in a single class students get distracted. Some students also lack confidence in asking questions from the teacher. But, in online classes, students can gain maximum from the lecture and ask questions without losing confidence due to the bullying of other students. Hence, online classes helps in building the confidence of a student.
- Long-term learning: It is a fact that we forget what we learn in school in a week or two. To recall everything we need to revisit the handwritten notes which are often with incomplete information but with e-learning, we can watch/listen to the lecture or check out digital notes any number of times for detailed understanding. This helps in long-term memory retention.
- Develops self-discipline: Though online education is the most convenient method to gain education and students get lenient when it comes to following the class schedule. But they should not forget that preparing just before the exam is the worst and results in poor performance. All these are the outcome of indiscipline. Online education helps in overcoming indiscipline. Online classes propel towards success through self-discipline. It is the feature of a student to take responsibility for their course of studies and matures into an individual for whom learning and accomplishment are highly valued.
You have to accept the fact that e-learning is the future of the education system. You should make the best use of this new technology-driven education system. You need to open yourselves and learn it for your development. To change ourselves with the changing world is the need of the hour. The one who does not change lags behind. Keeping in mind the benefits of Digital education one should break the resistance and accept it.ย
All the best!ย
