Students today are already comfortable with online platforms and online learning. This is why these classes are becoming more widely used. They can be accessed anytime and anywhere as long as there’s an Internet connection and a gadget to use. Online learning makes it easier for students to access courses they can benefit from. However, students also have to deal with disadvantages that can affect the quality of these classes. First, online learning has more distractions. Students who take online courses are more prone to distractions and procrastination in the same landscape. This is because these courses don’t have a physical classroom that can help them focus on their studies. Moreover, other students cannot afford Internet access 24/7, which means that online classes are not always convenient for students. Second, online classes are easily disrupted. Lack of a stable Internet connection and good gadgets can disrupt online classes. Without these two things, students cannot access their courses, which can affect their grades and performance. Unlike traditional courses, these classes are dependent on factors like the student’s and the teacher’s Internet connections, the gadgets being used, and the environment
