The pursuit of university education is a concept that is valued by most cultures. We now have more options regarding how to get college qualifications. I think that learning from the internet is conducive to saving more time and offering more opportunities, although some students may experience a poor learning environment.

Beginning with positive points, the ability to get qualifications through distance learning means that people could finish all homeworks, projects and exams on the internet. It could save plenty of commuting time, which is most manifest in the case of the students who live off campus. To put it more precisely, serious traffic congestion and living far away from school are no longer problems. For resident students, taking online courses also brings benefits when weather is terrible such as typhoons and thunderstorms. Time saved on the way to and from the classroom could be used to do something more valuable, such as previews and reviews on courses.

Secondly, students can access to more selective courses if the online courses are offered. This is because the size of the classroom is no longer the limit of how many students could successfully sign up a course. As a result, students could learn whatever they like, even if the course is extremely popular, which means it is hard to attend in a traditional way. Furthermore, more courses will be opened because colleges could recruit more lecturers by offering home based positions. For example, young teachers will be more likely to find their jobs without the compromise of living far away with families; and that high-tech classes difficult for locals could be taught by the professors overseas.

On the downsides, compared with learning in classrooms, studying online will conversely affect the learning quality. Firstly, students are more likely to communicate by sending messages or e-mails to classmates and teachers, which takes more time than oral communication. Secondly, bad network situations will seriously impact the quality of teaching. Last but no least, there is also the concern that homework and projects can be collected from the internet, making plagiarism a potential issue.

In conclusion, although there are potential issues of learning online, they are outweighed by the positives.

The pursuit of university education is a concept that is valued by most cultures. We now have more options regarding how to get college qualifications. I think that learning from the internet is detrimental to an academic atmosphere and teaching quality, although some students with economic problems may be able to get some foreign college opportunities.

Beginning with negative points, students get less valuable learning experience by remote study compared with conventional education. This is because the academic atmosphere and life experience are far more precious than solely courses. For example, for some people who want to learn presentation skills, speaking to the public is totally different from speaking in front of a computer screen. Therefore, if people really desire to improve their speech, they have to keep practice in front of real audiences. In addition, there are a lot of learning experiences which cannot be achieved by the internet such as conducting physical experiments, joining interesting clubs and going to the university library.

Secondly, a lamentable fact is that studying online is detrimental to the teaching quality. This means that students taking online courses is more likely not only to be distracted in class but also to use the internet to plagiarize an assignment or an exam. For example, some students can minimize the window of online courses and play a computer game simultaneously. And it is less difficult for undergraduates to look for the exam answer by searching on the internet or sending SNS to friends.

On the bright side, the opportunity of getting qualifications through distance learning means people could choose a wide range of colleges without the geographical barriers. This is most manifest in the case of the students who are financially tight. As a lot of prestigious universities are located in a metropolis which requires high living expenses, some excellent students have to give up their opportunities due to economic pressure. By offering qualifications through distance learning, their dream of attending a famous school can be realized.

In conclusion, although there are potential benefits of getting tertiary education remotely, they are outweighed by the flaws.
