In this era, education is one of the important
things to human life and it always develops. New ways of learning are now
available, and improved access is one of the most important benefits available,
such as using the computer and the internet to make an online class, it’s
called conventional learning. Some developed countries already used this
program, but we should open our perception to consider the advantages and
disadvantages of using online class.
One
major advantage of using online class are creat flexible learning activity. It
means that the student shouldn’t attend in the classroom and start learning.
Learning activity occurs in the virtual media and the student can access all
the material all the time depending on their connection to the internet.
Furthermore, online class cheaper than learning by face to face between the
students and the teacher in the classroom (direct method), they shouldn’t pay
for transportation to go to the school or shouldn’t pay for the textbook,
otherwise they can search a lot of literature (e-book) and many resources (essay, journal) on the internet. What is
more, online class decrease the cases of bullying or discrimination racist
because they have no direct or limit interaction with their friends . Also, the
time that they have outside in the class and the school area probably useful to
another activity such as doing their hobbies.
On
the other hand, we should understand that online class may build unsocial
characteristics for the students because they have not enough to close
interaction with another people. In addition, during access to the online class
it might get high risk for a student to access negative content based on the
internet, it will be a serious problem for their mental health. It is possible
to disturb their learning process.
On
the whole, online learning is new ways to improve the process of learning in
the education to human life during the development in the technology era and
the important things the students must be highly motivated and highly
disciplined if they are to learn effectively in their own private environment.
