Answer:
Online Learning Advantages:
No need to travel, saving both time and money.
Whenever and wherever you like: early morning, while commuting or eating, during work breaks or in the evening. At home, in coffee shops, or on the train. Take a break anytime to give your mind a short rest.
Online learning usually includes pre-recorded videos. Sometimes these are simple recordings of lectures with or without accompanying slides. Other courses and MOOCs are dynamic learning experiences when videos are recorded in different locations or produced with green screen technology, sound effects, music and advanced graphics. Sometimes videos include embedded questions that students have to answer before continuing the video.
MOOCs are self-contained. No need to buy textbooks although some MOOCs have optional texts.
You can speed up videos during easy parts, and slow them down to understand more difficult concepts. This facility is particularly useful if you are not a native speaker of the language, or if your instructor has an unfamiliar accent that you have difficulty understanding.
You can pause videos while writing notes or re-watch them as often as necessary. Many courses also provide transcripts for their videos. If an interactive transcript is provided, you can click on a relevant section of the transcript to watch that part of the video.
If videos or transcripts can be downloaded to your device you will then have unlimited access to them.
Many MOOCs provide recommended and optional reading materials and extra resources. These can include useful websites or papers freely available online.
You can take free MOOCs over and over again without losing money if you need more time to succeed.
In courses with dynamic discussion forums you can discuss issues with fellow students from all around the world.
Online Learning Disadvantages:
No face-to-face contact with fellow students or course staff.
No student facilities such as laboratories or libraries, although some MOOCs incorporate practical activities to be done at home, virtual laboratory experiments, reading lists of freely-available papers or temporary subscriptions to journals.
It can be hard to find answers to questions or resolve difficulties, especially when discussion forum participation is low.
You need effective self-motivation.
