Technology offers us wonderful opportunities like the ability to learn from home, but it also may lead to momentary malfunctions, like interruptions or downtime

Since virtual learning takes place on a screen, you might feel that the course isn’t as fully immersive compared to in-person instruction. You may feel a lack of collaboration or networking since you’re not sitting next to others as in a classroom setting. For some, that’s a con, but it may not be an issue for people who prefer a more individualistic learning approach.

For some students, the ability to study and learn comfortably from home could be a huge benefit. For others, learning at home can be distracting. Interruptions from family members and access to a phone and entertainment can make focusing more difficult, and some people may even feel isolated.

There is also somewhat of a lack of accountability with virtual learning, so students will need to have a good sense of self-motivation or know where to go for help.

Virtual learning can require learning new programs for both students and teachers. For the school or course provider, this will likely require additional funds to ensure the instructors are fully fluent in the necessary technologies.
