The necessity of constant education is dictated by our rapidly changing world. People are to study in order to meet changes of their professional requirements and expectations of the society. There are different ways of getting education but the most popular are traditional and online ones. Is it possible to say that online education is an excellent alternative to traditional one?
From my point of view online education gives us possibility to develop comfortably having at the disposal all world knowledge. One can choose all convenient conditions such as the place of training, teachers, payment and so on. More than that, online education is based on new approaches, methods and technologies stimulating the process of learning. Moreover, there almost no limitations in this way of education, except for the internet connection and a number of specialities but they are solvable.
Opponents of this point of view believe traditional education is the best of all possible ones. Firstly, a lot of people got it and have stable knowledge nowadays. Secondly, a face-to-face education provides real interaction and instant evaluation.
I don’t agree with the opposing opinion. Educational motivation brings knowledge and experience notwithstanding the way of getting it. Besides, forms of online education are becoming more popular among traditional education teachers.
Taking everything into account, I would like to stress that one always chooses what is more convenient for him. New thinking brings new possibilities and new people who value modern resources and are ready to broaden their minds.
