Advantages of Online Learning
According
to Zucker & Feldman (2000: 8) online learning offers a variety of
educational opportunities:
a. Student-centered learning
The
variety of online tools draw on individual learning styles and help students
become more versatile learners.
b. Collaborative learning
Online
group work allows students to become more active participants in the learning process.
Contributing input requires that students comprehend what is being discussed,
organize their thinking coherently, and express that thinking with carefully
constructed language.
c. Easy access to global resources
Students
can easily access online databases and subject experts in the online classroom.
d. Experiential learning through multimedia presentations
New
technologies can be used to engage and motivate students. Technology can also be
used to support students in their learning activities.
e. Accessible for non-traditional students
Online
delivery of programs and courses makes participation possible for students who experience
geographic and time barriers in gaining access to higher education.
f. Draws on student interest in online learning
Many
students are interested in online learning. In a recent survey conducted by the
Office of Academic Planning and Assessment at UMass Amherst, more than 50% of students
surveyed said that they were “very interested” or “somewhat interested” in taking
an online course.
