The benefits of online learning are limitless when it comes to your college education. If you’re on the fence about online classes or don’t have an in-person option this year, the good news is you have a large variety of courses from which to choose. Listed below are other benefits to online learning.
A great thing about online classes is your flexibility to communicate with your Instructor. Between email, live chat, and telephone conversations, you should have many opportunities to get feedback, attend a webinar, or have a great Q&A session.
You can save thousands of dollars when you’re learning online. The traditional costs associated with using classroom space and equipment don’t apply. As long as you have the right hardware and software to log on and complete course assignments, there are significant savings you realize right away.
You can choose to study in a place which helps you learn the material. This will help you gain a greater understanding of the overall body of knowledge you need to earn your degree, diploma, or certificate.
Whether you’re at home or on the road, you can create your perfect room to study class materials and do homework assignments. You don’t have to contend with disruptive environments and get better opportunities to concentrate by not being around other people.
One of the great benefits of online learning is you can still work full time. Studying can be done in your off-hours, and if you work non-traditional hours, you don’t have to lose sleep, arrange for childcare, or waste time commuting.
In the debate about online learning, you don’t have to commute to a college or university to take courses. You’ll save money on gas, vehicle maintenance and save time that you can use to study and take exams in the comfort of your home.
Use free online software like Google Hangout or Microsoft Teams to study remotely with others. All you need is your computer, a headset, and the time to exchange ideas about classroom assignments or get questions answered. You can share screens, present documents, and organize your study projects.
No matter the time of day, you can access online course materials such as videos, podcasts, and written materials to reinforce course concepts.
You may complete some courses in record time because the concepts and material are easy for you to understand, or you may need extra time to understand more abstract concepts.
Waiting to learn your test score can be nerve-racking. Most online learning systems have immediate scoring systems to let you know how well you did on the test.
Without the commitment of attending physical classes at a physical location, you’ll learn self-discipline by managing your time and tasks. We suggest you use time management tools like scheduling time and tasks in an online calendar.
While there are many more benefits of online learning, these are the main ones for figuring out if this is right for you and appreciating all the college options you have during this new normal.

Robert was born in Midland, Ontario on January 11, 1953 and passed away in Nanaimo on November 20, 2009. Robert was the youngest of three. I was the oldest, Doug was the middle child. Our mother and father were divorced when we were very young. Our mother remarried a man who had three sons and then another girl and another boy was born. So there was eight of us altogether. Robert moved to Toronto, Ontario after high school and worked in various jobs there. He then moved to Edmonton, Alberta in 1976 and on to British Columbia in 1977. He lived in Vancouver, Victoria, and finally resided in Nanaimo. Robert had a great sense of determination and optimism. The more he could learn, the happier he was. He continued his education in B.C. at Simon Fraser University. He also took courses in the culinary field and worked as a chef for many years. He also studied law and worked as a paralegal. He studied religions and languages (he could speak many languages) and took many computer courses. He took a Medical Terminology Course, and Emergency First Aid which included CPR.
Unfortunately, Robert's health was never great. He was born a "Blue Baby" and not expected to live. He lived with the HIV virus and with cancer. This was a big factor in his determination to be able to work at home and was why he was taking the Medical Transcription course. Robert was involved with various charitable organizations for many, many years. He cooked numerous meals at food kitchens for the homeless, especially at Christmas and other holidays. He spent time at various senior centers, volunteering, and visiting the residents there. He was an active volunteer at the Nanaimo Parole Citizen Advisory Committee and one of the outstanding jobs he completed for them was their Committee By-laws.
I am very proud of the things that my brother achieved in his lifetime. I have received so many letters, calls and cards since his passing, all of them telling me how much he was liked and how much he will be missed. Robert spent most of his time helping others. I'm attaching a couple of pictures, one when he was very young. If there is any other information you need, please let me know. Thank you again for setting up this scholarship. It means so much to me that his name will carry on. And I know he would be extremely pleased that his name was helping others. That was his number one goal in his life - to help others.
