In this rapidly changing world, the information technology has been increasingly developing and this advanced technology has been allowing people to live more conveniently and enjoy their lives sufficiently. When it comes to Internet technology, most of the universities also have used it to help their students to learn and prepare academically. In this sense, while some people argue that Internet is not beneficial to students’ learning, I definitely believe that all students are able to benefit from exploiting Internet. This is not only because students have a great opportunity to do their research more quickly and conveniently, but also because online courses help students without having access to offline courses to take the classes.
First of all, by using Internet, every student is better able to study and do their research in the greatly fast and expedient environment. This is due to the fact that students don’t have to go the libraries in order to find the resources needed for their schoolwork as well as search for the data hard on the shelves. If they should research in the libraries, students will have difficulty doing so since they have to spend their precious time and money. To illustrate this point, when I was a university student majoring in literature, I took my major class and got the paper assignment on the history of modern literature. Initially, I went to the library which was far away my home and had a lot of trouble finding books related to my study. However, after I returned back home and did my research through Internet, I was able to pull up all lists of specific thesis papers of the literary history and thus, there was a surprising performance of my work in the aspects of speed and convenience. Consequently, I got a very high grade on this assignment in that class.
Secondly, online courses give students who cannot attend on-campus classes because of certain several reasons a good opportunity to take the courses. This is evident when one ponders that those who are disabled or not able to participate in the classes due to special reasons such as obligations for sustaining their livings on their own can take the classes by enrolling the online courses. For instance, a study of colleges with online courses revealed that since they offered students classes taught on Internet, the rate of their students that enrolled online classes has increased by 10 percent every year. This result indicates that learning from online classes enables numerous students to more effectively be given higher education. Therefore, online course as the great kind of learning tool is has a positive influence on students.
To summarize, because students have the benefits of doing research very quickly through Internet and this practice is strongly helpful especially to those who don’t have enough chance to learn, Internet is the best kind of learning means for all students to study more effectively. As a result, it would be important that universities encourage their students to exploit Internet resource easily without limitation. |
