Internet-based learning, I would argue that there are far more benefits. The key drawback of online studies is the lack of control. There are a lot of people with a low level of self-discipline.

Therefore

, it is difficult for them to meet deadlines and,

consequently

, keep up with their studies.

For example

, my classmate was really talented and did not have any trouble learning all the lessons by heart. All her exams were passed with flying colours,

however

, she fell behind with maths when the course became an online one. Despite the negatives mentioned above, I believe that the Internet is an extremely useful way of our studying. There are a lot of helpful features

such

as the ability to continue the educational process in any weather conditions.

Moreover

, people can use the Internet to take extra courses,

such

as an intensive language course. Online lessons are rather cheaper than offline ones.

For example

, if a person has to pass IELTS and does not have the ability to pay for a tutor's lesson, they can take an online free or almost free course.

To sum up

,

while

I recognize the possible disadvantages of online learning, I consider it to be a positive development

overall

.

flexibility and low costs make the process of learning much more available for all mankind and especially for poor people.
