Pros And Cons Of Online Education

In order to successfully participate in an online programme, the students must be well organized, self-motivated and possess a high degree of time management skills in order to keep up with the pace of the course. For these reasons, online education or e-learning is not appropriate for younger students (i.e. elementary or secondary school age), and other students who are dependent learners and have difficulty taking over responsibilities required by the online pattern.
