“ When course content and activities are provided online, students no longer need to worry about accessing course materials. Students can complete assignments during their most productive times. Busy students can choose to download readings or take practice exams whenever it is most convenient, in the evening after kids are put to bed, or at 4am during a bout of insomnia. Continual access to course documents also insures students can obtain materials at any time, removing the opportunity for frustrations…(uth.tmc.edu).” I believe this is the most essential advantage of online learning environments in comparison to face-to-face learning environments. Students have the ability to use their time in ways that our convenient to their schedules because assignments are always online. This teaches students to learn effective time management skills, making them more effective learners. “On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction (ny times).” I believe that this is the main reason that students perform better. Based on my own experience, I have been able to take more classes in my time constraints and have learned to schedule myself based on my time availability not having the constraints of a typical face-to-face classroom. I tend to have higher grades in online classes than in face-to-face classes because of the ability to be able to work on assignments in the time that is convenient to me. This has also helped me in my other courses as I have been forced to learn time management.
