My Opinion About Online Learning

What is online learning? Online learning is when we take courses online instead of in normal classroom. If our schedule make it's hard to attend the class, if we prefer to do the learn thing at our own place or if the Campus is too far from our place based on our situation right now. 

It's impossible to do the traditional or normal way of learning such as  going to school or college doing offline  assignments, midterm test, final test etc. Due to this pandemic situation whether we want it or not we have to do online learning.

However, after this pandemic is over, online learning can still be effectively done by the lecturers. Such as, variety of program, improve technical skill, and more comfortable learning environment.

First. The variety of programs that we can get through online learning, we can get a lot of knowledge besides our regular courses. Digital scrapbooking, Sketch Master, how to write a novel, Get a job offer in 30 days, the things like this. 

Maybe just a few opportunities  or even we can't get this at all if we attend the regular class. However if we do the online learning, we might get a disturbance from our social media  such as, instagram, twitter, youtube etc. but still we can get to know several things that we didn't know before. 

Actually I agree about the disturbance that can we get through the online learning but in this situation we can't go anywhere except for the emergency situation and the online learning is the only option that we have for now.

Second.  Another advantage of online learning is improve our technical skill it means that the students learn within their online courses, including creating and sharing documents, combining audio or video materials into assignments, completing online test, etc.

However, not all the people who have to do the online learning have the proper equipment for example, if we have to do the a video assignment but their phone didn't supported with a good quality of camera and also the laptop where we usually do the editing for the video. 

Still trough the online learning we can improve our skill. Such as installing and using several apps that never been use before , if there is a problem with the internet connection during the class we know how to solve the problem as soon as possible, etc. 

In my opinion it's okay if we don't have the proper equipment as long as we do the assignment in the right way and the most important is we submitted the assignment on time because the lecturer must be already understand with their student condition.

Third. More comfortable learning environment, We can do the assignment or the online learning everywhere we want and we don't have to sit in a proper way, we can relax while laying down on our bed or we can go to the caf, restaurant, library etc. 

Now due to the COVID19 we have to do the online learning at home and we can't go anywhere we want.

It's not like I didn't agree with learning in comfortable environment but if we study at school or college in general it would be more fun and exciting because we can meet a lot of friends and new people besides, there is a teacher or lecturer present at all times to answer the student's questions and because the true form of learning is where there is involvement of people sharing and receiving knowledge without delay. And this is achieved in a regular offline classroom.

As a result, online learning is more easy than the traditional way of learning but still there are also several factor that makes offline learning are better that the online learning and during this pandemic situation we have to do the online learning. 

Because online learning also have a lot of advantages  such as, the variety of program, improve our technical skill, and more comfortable learning environment. 

Maybe in the future we can make a balance classes like half online classes and the other half is offline classes done by the teacher or the lecturer. Why don't people just try to accept and adapt online learning? Who knows in the future we're going to need this kind of learning method .
