OVERVIEW

• Online learning has shown a massive growth over
  the last decade as the internet and education
  join hands to provide people with varied
  opportunities to learn new skills. And after the
  pandemic, online learning has become the new norm
  today. The lockdown has forced schools, colleges,
  companies to work within the confines of their
  homes and thus enhanced the usage of online
  learning. Lets understand in-depth what are the
  pros and cons of online learning.

  limited to a particular space or geography. You
  only need an internet connection and you're all
  set to learn from any part of the world.

  learners is the easy affordability. You need not
  spend a hefty sum on infrastructure or any other
  capital investment just a decent internet
  connection is all you need and youre all set to

TIME MANAGEMENT

• Online learning has saved students from the
  hassle of travelling long hours to
  schools/colleges or waiting hours in the
  classroom for the lecture to start. Now, you can
  learn from anywhere anytime at your sweet
  convenience.

CONS REDUCED SOCIAL INTERACTION

• Human is a social animal by nature. Healthy
  physical interaction is a must for a person's
  personal professional growth. Online learning
  has forced students within the confines of their
  homes, thus limiting their in-person peer-to-peer
  social interaction.

HASSLES OF OWNING A GADGET

• Online learning holds no meaning in the absence
  of gadgets like a smartphone or a laptop. This
  could disturb the budget of many as they now need
  to incur expenditure on gadgets and good internet
  connectivity.

LACK OF PERSONAL TOUCH

• Online learning demands you to grasp learn
  things at a faster rate than the traditional
  classroom model. Since there's no face-to-face
  interaction between a teacher and a student, slow
  learners may find it difficult to keep up with
  the pace. Also, no amount of e-learning can
  replace the magical benefits of in-person
  interaction and learning.
