Online learning has completely transformed the
educational landscape. It
has made learning open to all. So far, online
learning has been effective enough in providing valuable education
for lower costs. A majority of people believe that that online
learning offers a plethora of new opportunities to students.
Despite offering so many benefits, Online learning still faces
criticism. People often think that students who get educated
through online learning are not as smart as college or university
students. This causes a sense of disagreement in many people from
taking online courses. However, in a highly competitive world,
online learning helps people to get the right skills and broaden
their horizons while overcoming time and monetary hindrances. With
online learning, almost anyone can get access to education
irrespective of the location. These days online courses/training
have become extremely popular, as more and
more institutes and companies
are offering courses online. However,
despite the popularity of
online education, vast groups of people consciously stay away from
such methods, mostly due to misconception. At the same time,
despite the rising popularity of online courses, traditional
(classroom) training is fighting back and trying to adopt newer
means of retaining learners' interest. There are always two sides
of a coin. For some individuals, online training is more
appropriate, while for others
classroom training is the preferred delivery
method. But now situation in our country is extremely dangerous to
study at school, that is why schools, universities and other
educational companies are studying online or in distance. Some say
that wisdom comes with age while others insist that it comes from
learning. Nowadays, thanks to the internet, learning is open to
all. Hence, people in the countries where traditional learning is
facing various obstacles can take advantage of online courses. So
far, e-learning has been effective to the people that understood
its value. It offers the chance to have great results for lower
costs and sometimes for no costs at all. Despite these, online
learning has many other advantages. Education
may have several purposes, and online courses
help to fulfill it. Some
even say that elearning can revolutionize
education as it provides new opportunities for traditional
learning. Taking online classes has a lot of advantages and below
are some of the most important. Everyone can access education no
matter the location, but for online education you need computer,
internet sources. When people choose to pursue a study program in
numerous cases they need to move to another city, away from their
home, family, and friends. Meanwhile, there are countries where
gender issues prevent young women from accessing education.
In
such cases, online learning helps to eliminate
borders and barriers, both social and physical. Online courses are
a great solution to the challenges that these people face as they
are provided with high-quality education and on their own place and
time. Online study has a lot of advantages, such
as:
Comfort and flexibility
It happens to young students to find themselves
into a highly competitive
learning environment. Meanwhile, it is easier to
accept it at home. This makes people feel comfortable. Speaking of
comfort, online courses help to avoid long classes and
uncomfortable classrooms. The bed or the couch are more
comfortable. Further on, you can save time and cut the cost of
commuting from home to the campus. Another thing that a lot of
people agree is the fact that there will be no need to wake up
early in the morning. Yet, keep in mind that in order to be
successful it is important to leave your comfort
zone.
Sharing knowledge with
others
It is common that when we learn something new we
feel the need to share it with others. This is another purpose of
education, sharing knowledge. In the case when the course you are
taking is part of a bigger community or network of people like the
campus of the Youth Citizen Entrepreneurs Competition, you can
encourage others by sharing what you have learned from the free
online courses. Nowadays, most higher education institutions offer
individual online training programs. The peculiarity of distance
education allows people to choose the profession that they have
dreamed of all their life or it is vital for them. Delivery of term
papers and tests is performed online at a convenient time for each
student. The only thing that a student needs is to agree in advance
with the teacher about handing over the work. Training in this way
involves independent study of literature and information related to
a particular subject. Practical classes and consultations are held
several times a month. If necessary, the teacher can consult more
often. This is already negotiated by each student individually. The
Government of Kazakhstan introduces quarantine regime in Kazakhstan
due to an outbreak of coronavirus. A state of emergency was
declared in Kazakhstan from March 16 to April 15 in connection with
the coronavirus pandemic. Officials are prohibited from traveling
abroad, places of mass gathering of people, for example, theaters
and cinemas, schools and universities are closed, and other events
are prohibited. And all of our country’s schools and universities
are also switched to online learning. It is very important today ,
because each of us want to continue studying.
The modern sources of online or distance
studying :
Zoom is the leader in modern enterprise video
communications, with an easy,
reliable cloud platform for video and audio
conferencing, chat, and webinars across mobile, desktop, and room
systems. Zoom Rooms is the original software-based conference room
solution used around the world in board, conference, huddle, and
training rooms, as well as executive offices and classrooms.
Founded in 2011, Zoom helps businesses and organizations bring
their teams together in a frictionless environment to get more
done. It provides remote conferencing services that combines video
conferencing, online meetings, chat, and mobile collaboration
[1].
Our University also use this type of source ,
during the seminars and lectures. Skype is a telecommunications
application that specializes in providing video chat and voice
calls between computers, tablets, mobile devices, the Xbox One
console, and smart watches over the Internet. Skype also provides
instant messaging services. Users may transmit text, video, audio
and images. Skype allows video conference calls
[2].
Discord is a free voice, video and text chat app
for teens and adults ages 13 and up. It was created to bring people
together through a love of gaming. They can join a chat they’ve
been invited to or they can create private servers and invite their
friends to play and discuss games by voice, text or video. They can
also message each other individually or in group chats with up to
ten other friends [3]. TED hosts thought-provoking talks given at
events all over the world on the core topics of technology,
entertainment and design – but in fact covering pretty much every
aspect of human experience. The TED site is where you can find all
the videos of these talks. They’re another good procrastination
device, but you may also find some inspiration for your next essay
[4]. In conclusion I would like to point that , every year online
learning becomes more real and more attractive for people who do
not have the opportunity to attend classes at the University. And
there can be many different reasons for this. For
example, a person is planning a career growth,
for which it is necessary to improve their skills. But this person
simply does not have time to study for a full-time, parttime or
evening course. Therefore, they choose distance learning. Such
e-learning is a real chance to get a good education for those
categories of people who have problems with the
musculoskeletal system. Diseases of this category
simply negate the
possibility of inpatient or evening
education.
