Online degrees are quickly becoming a popular alternative to the actual college degrees where you attend classes physically. Even though it really can save you money, there is a lot of time and energy dedicated to online degree. Is it really worth the effort?
The online degree course is equally valuable as an offline degree course. In some cases, it holds better value than that pursued as offline. Online degree courses offer you the flexibility to study from anywhere and many times students get one-on-one interaction with a deeper understanding and customised teaching style based on the knowledge of the students in the classes as usually the batch is small. Moreover, the value of an online degree course depends on the university, mentors and the curriculum. To name one, Venkateshwara Open University is one of the best open universities that transform the students to industry leaders with practical training and real-life projects under the mentorship of proficient professors of IIT/IIM and other foreign b-schools.
A major one you will always have with an online course is that you will always have questions that maybe can’t be answered straight away. You’ll have to post a question and wait for an answer before you move on. Many times, like I did, we move on without fully understanding something. You’ll get away with it temporarily but it will come back to you.
In person, if something you don’t understand comes up, you ask, you get an answer and you move on. It’s more effective and your study time has a higher quality. However, some people might not feel a difference at all.
