In addition to the affordability and convenience, a large number of people are choosing online learning courses because they have become a more effective way to learn. Researchers discovered that participants in online learning courses with multimedia content retain information better than those in traditional face-to-face courses.
Online course also offer more flexibility for both the speakers and the audience. In addition, online learning is also more environmentally friendly. Recent data suggests that online courses on average use significantly less energy and emit less CO2 per participant than traditional face-to-face courses.
