Many colleges and universities have instituted online education programs. These programs are the best way because it gives the student the freedom that they need and the flexibility to get things accomplished without the high expenses. If colleges are going to meet the rising demand for education they, should expand to more online classes for other students. The online course I took was throughout my three years of high school. Doing online courses for three years straight is what convinced me more and more that online courses have a positive impact. Recent studies show that schools can provide instructions without the expenses of classrooms, offices, libraries, and bookstores. In addition online courses are profitable to colleges and universities because it allows schools to reach new populations both nationally and internationally. However, some people argue that it makes students lack the social aspect and interaction with other students, which could cause later issues further down in their life. They also say that the students will not learn the same because they aren't in a classroom and they don't have face to face interactions. These arguments can be see in different ways depending on the student and their own capabilities in trying to get their work accomplished. For this reason, online education should be seen in a brighter light because it is cheaper and can be more flexible and effective to the student themselves.
