Benefits of Online Learning for School Students
                     BENEFITS OF ONLINE 
LEARNING FOR 
SCHOOL STUDENTS
1.) WORK 
FROM 
ANYWHERE, AT 
ANY TIME
This is the most appealing benefit of online 
education for students with many duties to 
balance. Since everything is available online, 
accessing class materials and submitting work is 
very convenient. Exactly when and where this 
takes place is up to student, as long as 
assignment due dates are met.
2.) REVIEW 
LECTURES 
INSTANTLY
It’s easy for minds to wander during a 
lecture. University of California 
psychologist Jonathan Schooler found 
that students lose focus about 5 times in 
a 45-minute class session. In many 
online programs, however, students can 
review words from professors instantly, 
either by rewinding the audio or video or 
by reading the transcript that 
accompanies the lecture.
3.) LESS INTIMIDATING
Many students in classroom environments aren’t 
comfortable speaking in public. In an online 
environment, it can be much easier to share 
thoughts with others. With 74 percent of people 
suffering from speech anxiety, according to the 
National Institute of Mental Health, online 
education tends to foster better 
class participation.
4.) MORE TIME 
TO THINK 
BEFORE 
SHARING
Online schooling still has a discussion element to it, 
often in a forum or discussion board. On-campus 
students have to choose a stance or formulate a 
thought in class quickly, and sometimes speak 
before they’ve fully examined everything. In an 
online environment, students can spend as much 
time as they want thinking about and honing their 
own ideas. This can lead to greater confidence and 
more elegant discussions.
5.) FOCUS ON IDEAS
With an estimated 93 percent of communication 
being non-verbal, online students don’t have to 
worry about body language interfering with their 
message. While body language can be effective 
sometimes, academics are more about ideas, and 
online education eliminates physical judgments 
that can cloud rational discussion.
6.) GROUP 
COMMUNICATION
Many degree programs today incorporate some 
sort of group project or teamwork. Working with 
others on-campus or locally means coordinating 
specific days and times so everyone can attend. 
Distance learning programs, however, foster 
virtual communication and allow students to work 
with team members via email, chat rooms and 
other easy-to-use methods.
7.) FLEXIBLE LEARNING 
SCHEDULE
On-campus students may have to endure in-person 
lectures that last hours. While not all online 
programs are built the same, many use PowerPoint 
presentations and other media that students can 
digest in pieces. In other words, a student can 
experience the first half of a lesson one day, and 
the second half the next day. This can be 
especially helpful for those who don’t enjoy sitting 
in one place for too long.
8.) COST
Although the cost of an online course can be as 
much or more than a traditional course, students 
can save money by avoiding many fees typical of 
campus-based education, including lab fees, 
commuting costs, parking, hostels, etc. Imagine 
living in Dhule but going to college in Mumbai.
9.) DIVERSITY
Traditional students are often limited to courses 
and teachers close to home. The online student 
can take a French course from a teacher in France 
and a travel-writing course from a writer who’s 
actually out travelling, without having to leave 
home.
10.) INSTRUCTOR 
AVAILABILITY
At traditional colleges and universities, talking to a 
professor after class can be challenging. Yes, 
instructors have office hours, but it’s often only an 
hour or two each week, with too many students 
waiting for attention. While professors who teach 
online may also have set hours for student 
interaction, web-based technologies make 
conversing with multiple students at once much 
easier. Professors can also hop online at night or 
during intermissions to address questions, leave 
comments and more.
