I think that there are more disadvantages than advantages in online learning. I prefer, above all, a traditional course where you have the possibility of interaction with teachers and other students and to solve immediately your doubts. Attending a course in an instituite (School, University, College, etc) means to enter in a community of people and in future you can gets some advantges from this experience. With an online course, the only one advantages, for me, is that you can do it when and wherever you want. But I am sure that the educatinal results from online learning are less than those that you can optain from face to face learning.
Apart from this course, that somebody else have decided for me, I haven’t had other experiences of online learning.
But thanks to this course, my only one experience, I can give some tips for people would start an online learning course:
1. Understand the structure of the course;
2. Know the course’s parts;
3. Enstabilish a timetable;
4. Dedicate a specific period of the day to the course (every day);
5. Write down notes;
6. At the end, repeat the main parts of the course.
