Online education enables students to connect with some of the world’s most renowned professors and lecturers in the world; a subset of people they may not otherwise be able access due to lack of funds, location and scheduling. Making use of an extensive range of resources and tools; for example, online tutoring resources, only broadens the experience by enabling individuals to become more familiar with technology and communication skills. It is transferable skills such as these that employers want and need. Online learning offers students an incredible degree of flexibility and because online courses require only a reliable internet connection, it can take place anywhere, ranging from downtime at the office to pre-planned “class” time at home. While flexibility is a major draw of online learning, it certainly isn’t the only benefit; it can also save money. Online education is extremely cost-efficient because there is no commuting back and forth to campus. The cost of the course is also less expensive, because there is little in the way of overheads for the tutor, which is one reason why traditional higher education is so costly.
