    Online learning provides greater educational access and flexibility for students. It allows institutions to expand their reach and offer recognized courses on a contact-partial or fully virtual basis. This improves access to education for people around the world. However, there are still challenges to ensuring all students can benefit equally from online learning, such as some lacking reliable internet access or the motivation and discipline needed to learn remotely. While online learning has significant advantages, more work is still needed to address issues of quality, access, and student support to realize its full benefits.

    Argumentative Essay: Online Learning and

    Educational Access
    Conventional learning is evolving with the help of computers and online technology. New
    ways of learning are now available, and improved access is one of the most important
    benefits available. People all around the world are experiencing improved mobility as a result
    of the freedom and potential that online learning provides, and as academic institutions and
    learning organisations adopt online learning technologies and remote-access learning, formal
    academic education is becoming increasingly legitimate. This essay argues the contemporary
    benefits of online learning, and that these benefits significantly outweigh the issues,
    challenges and disadvantages of online learning.
    Online learning
    Online learning is giving people new choices and newfound flexibility with their personal
    learning and development. Whereas before, formal academic qualifications could only be
    gained by participating in a full time course on site, the internet has allowed institutions to
    expand their reach and offer recognized courses on a contact-partial, or totally virtual, basis.
    Institutions can do so with relatively few extra resources, and for paid courses this constitutes
    excellent value, and the student benefits with greater educational access and greater
    flexibility to learn and get qualified even when there lots of other personal commitments to
    deal with.
    Educational access
    Flexibility is certainly one of the most important benefits, but just as important is educational
    access. On top of the internet’s widespread presence in developed countries, the internet is
    becoming increasingly available in newly developed and developing countries. Even without
    considering the general informational exposure that the internet delivers, online academic
    courses and learning initiatives are becoming more aware of the needs of people from
    disadvantaged backgrounds, and this means that people from such backgrounds are in a much
    better position to learn and progress than they used to be.
    The biggest argument that raises doubt over online learning is the quality of online courses in
    comparison to conventional courses. Are such online courses good enough for employers to
    take notice? The second biggest argument is the current reality that faces many people from
    disadvantaged backgrounds, despite the improvements made in this area in recent years –
    they do not have the level of basic access needed to benefit from online learning. In fact,
    there are numerous sources of evidence that claim disadvantaged students are not receiving
    anywhere near the sort of benefits that online learning institutions and promoters are trying to
    instigate. Currently there are many organisations, campaigns and initiatives that are working
    to expand access to higher education. With such high participation, it can be argued that it is
    only a matter of time before the benefits are truly realised, but what about the global online
    infrastructure?
    There is another argument that is very difficult to dispel, and that is the response of different
    types of students to the online learning paradigm. Evidence shows that there are certain
    groups of students that benefit from college distance learning much more than other groups.
    In essence, students must be highly motivated and highly disciplined if they are to learn
    effectively in their own private environment.
