Online Learning
Argument
Online learning refers to the various educational programs that are developed for students who do not necessarily have to be physically present in the classroom. Online writing has evolved greatly over the last decade due to the many advancements that have been observed on various information technologies and the internet. Online learning allows students to learn or study just like other students at the classroom level with educational materials being sent via e-mail and other online platforms. Through online learning, students do not have to be physically present at the classrooms. As a result, educational qualifications and expertise can be transferred to many people with ease.
