Online course, as a new teaching method based on computer and Internet, allows teachers to give classes from a distance away. It is becoming more than popular in colleges and universities, and acts as an effective complement to traditional teaching.
However, opinions on it differ from teachers to students. Generally, teachers support it for two reasons. Firstly, online course can be conducted at home or office and this offers great convenience to teachers. Secondly, online courses releases teachers from repeating the same contents since the video or audio material can be played time again. However, many students have opposite standpoints. In the first place, with online course, they lack face to face communications with teachers and their confusion cannot be solved instantly. In addition, the computer system cannot be guaranteed to work stably all the time. What’s more, they do not have 100 percent confidence in their self-discipline without teachers being around to supervise.
Personally, with the college students growing up, if the traditional teaching method and the modern ones like on-line course can be combined together, more fruitful education is sure to be realized.
