Online courses were once very rare, and they catered exclusively to nontraditional students. Now one in five students is taking an online course. But they sometimes end up costing more than a traditional college course, so why bother? There are a lot of perks to taking online courses. Many times, you can take classes whenever it works into your schedule instead of having to show up at your university at a set time. Course materials are often available for you to go back through as needed, which can be great if you’ve forgotten something from the beginning of the semester. There are rules and regulations about everything from the certifications of the person teaching the class to the technology being used. The initial startup costs are making online courses more expensive for now, but as technology and training catch up to the standards, these costs will decline in the future. Check out the infographic linked below for more about the benefits of online college courses.
