They Can Save Lives

Considering the rapid spread of COVID-19 in September, October, and November of 2020, online classes may save lives by preventing the spread of the disease. Yes, there are other factors that spread the coronavirus. But social distancing, although inconvenient, has been shown to save lives.

Online Classes Have Some Social Interaction

Face-to-face social interaction with peers represents one crucial element of traditional learning models. Learning from home disrupts the traditional paradigm by maintaining social distancing. Online classes can overcome that by offering various methods to communicate, such as email, texting, video chat, apps, and virtual chats. It’s not the same as seeing your instructor or classmates face-to-face, but technological improvements make it easier to mitigate communication issues.

Online Classes Offer Positive Experiences

In general, students and instructors find online classes to be a positive experience. In a survey of 1,000 professors and instructors across the country taken in August 2020, 49% agreed that online learning is an effective method for teaching. Another study conducted by Digital Promise showed that 59% of 1,000 students surveyed found they were mostly satisfied or somewhat satisfied with their online classes after they went completely online.
