Subject - To share opinions about the virtual platform
Dear Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would be honoured to share my opinions about online learning and virtual platform. Being a student myself, I am well-versed with the advantages and disadvantages of using virtual platform.
A virtual platform is almost accessible to everyone. It doesn’t even matter if someone suffering from health or mobility issues. They are even able to keep up with their daily routine.
Highlighting the most obvious situation, that is, the current scenario of corona virus, learners are able to continue their studies, minimising any academic loss.
However, there are some aspects of virtual platforms that could be considered as a downside, for example, internet might not be affordable to some people or, since a virtual platform is designed to be used intuitively, many people feel uncomfortable using it.
I would be highly obliged if you publish about this in your newspaper. Also I beg for forgiveness if there is some point which might offend any person.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
TheVictor
