Online education

My own opinion

Disadvantages

If you pay for some course have some risk. There is always probability that you pay for a fake.

For most popular courses (with high level of quality) you need to know foreign languages.

Sometimes questions needs lecturer’s answer only but you can’t ask him directly

Not every course gives certificate or other document at the end of the course.

Advantages

Even though you don’t get any documents at the end of course, you get irreplaceable experience.

You can choose time and place of your lessons.

It is a chance to get acquainted with new people from different countries with the same interests as you have.

Some courses give extremely high quality of knowledge.

Some courses are free.

People with limited possibilities can get high education.
