What are the advantages and disadvantages of online education?
The advantages of modern distance education are as follows:
1. Cultivate students' autonomous learning ability. Distance education means that the lecturer and the learner are not in the same area. In the process of learning, the learner can move independently, without too much pressure, and can study easily, but the learner must also have self-restraint ability to achieve the purpose of learning. So this kind of learning is undoubtedly a test of learning autonomy. There are also many people who think that online education is not necessary to learn and can't learn knowledge. That's actually relative to people who don't have the ability to learn independently. In fact, it is still useful as long as learners take the time to listen carefully. For example, some schools now open online education platforms, and learners can communicate with the teachers online if they have any questions.
2. Break the boundaries of space communication. The great difference between distance education and traditional education is that the traditional education method will be constrained by the inconvenient communication in geographical areas, but distance education breaks this boundary. As long as there is a network, it is not limited by the location. Both lecturers and learners can use mobile phones or computers to enter the platform for teaching and learning. The most important thing is that learning is no longer limited by time and place, which is suitable for people who have already worked. They can use their leisure time to study independently.
Hidden disadvantages of network distance education:
1. At present, people have insufficient knowledge of multimedia network distance education, only superficial knowledge, and blindly accept this new educational model, while distance education also ignores that society will continue to progress. With the development of information technology, electronic information products are changing the way we work and study, and gradually new models are replacing the old ones. We don't pay attention to these distance education, and we don't combine social phenomena to innovate teaching, copying the practices of traditional schools. For example, in terms of teaching materials, most of the teaching materials of online education also apply the teaching materials of traditional education schools, and some even have no necessary teaching materials. It seems that online education is still using multimedia to copy and paste the old-fashioned education on campus, and has not found its own unified logical structure. If this goes on, the weakness of online distance education will not be effectively solved, which will put online distance education at a disadvantage.
2. Online distance education lacks true feelings. The object of distance education is very broad, and there is no specific teaching group. Compared with traditional teaching, distance education lacks situational. The so-called situational means that in teaching activities, it is meaningless to combine teaching with students according to the real teaching scene. This is also a great disadvantage of distance education at present. Without emotion, this teaching mode will be modeled, and repeated mechanized tasks will be completed without extra emotion. It is true that distance education can communicate online, but it is always separated from the screen, and people's emotions are hard to ponder. This is why it takes a long time to observe and understand a person, because we are faced with a cold screen, and we can't observe the learners carefully. With this restriction, the lecturer's impression of the learners is only rough, so we can't design and change the teaching methods according to everyone's differences. More importantly, emotion itself is an important link in education, which is impossible or difficult to realize through online education.
