It seems to me that today online education is a great way out of the difficult situation with the coronavirus. It is thanks to online education that pupils and students can study without putting themselves at risk of getting sick.

And if they have difficulties in the learning process, they can easily use the services of such a service as https://papersowl.com/write-my-literature-review. Personally, I used their services when I needed to write my literature review, they did everything very well, and most importantly quickly and in accordance with the requirements. |
Therefore, I can confidently say that online education is very convenient and cool for students |

Online education can work very well in conjunction with in-person. I would guess that colleges now have seen just how many courses can effectively be delivered as distance learning, even in the hard sciences. Didactic material can be delivered through the online platform, with labs, clinical, etc in person.
I received funeral director education this way 10 years ago. All didactic material was delivered in online courses. Midterm and final exams were taken at the school, with a registered proctor such as a librarian, or with a Remote Proctor device attached to your computer. The device had a fingerprint scanner, camera with 360 degree view, and microphone to record the test. If excessive movement or sound was detected, the clips were reviewed. The testing program locked out all other programs on the computer while the exam was open.
After doing all didactic material, we traveled to the school for a two-week capstone in which we performed our embalming clinical and reviewed for the boards.

Online education can work well for many ADULT learning classes. With the pandemic, places of higher learning have become very successful in marketing a quality product to those taking these classes. Not for school age kids nearly as much. The maturity and discipline is just not there yet. PLUS, they need that interaction with other students and their teachers.

Yes, I will agree here. Best used for college level or continuing education if we are looking at a high percentage of coursework being remote.
For high school, I would consider using more remote learning for higher-level elective courses, since the students enrolled tend to be more driven and disciplined |

Your reasoning implies that completing online learning requires more commitment, effort, and discipline than traditional brick-and-mortar classroom study. Thus, the bearers of online degrees would command more respect and accomplishment than traditional bearers. I agree with your assessment. |

Well, I really don't know about people with online degrees commanding MORE respect that the traditional method. For example, my wife received her Associates Degree in Nursing many years ago and had worked as an RN for a couple decades before getting her Bachelors online. It took a lot of discipline to get her Bachelors online. However, the material which should have been more difficult if only because it's upper level from what she had studied, really wasn't any more difficult. In fact, she found it easier than when she was getting her Associates in Nursing.
The short answer is, maybe in some cases yes, and in other cases, not really. |

Yes, online degrees should command more respect, but they usually don't. Many people consider online learning "no good" without really understanding why.
And schools are different with the difficulty of their curriculums. But it does take more discipline and self-direction to complete an online degree. |

Or not...
SIL has been doing 100% on-line teaching for Special Needs kids for 5+ yrs. There are many advantage for students, parents, and staff, but, a single method is not best for each and every situation.
I definitely am contrary to they need (?) that interaction with other students and their teachers As a 4th generation educator and homeschooler I can assure you MOST of the interaction with age segregated classes (USA style) is NOT best for the majority of students. Amazing what students can do when 'set-free-to-learn'. Fortunately never again in life will you be sequestered with like age group clones. As a livestock farmer as well... it is easy to compare traditional USA schools with the bulk feeding operations of feed for slaughter, and administrators as the key recipients at the feed trough. Actually it is very sad to see what USA edu does to potentially excellent learners (As homeschoolers we volunteered 3x / week in public schools and as educators stayed engaged in the PS system ourselves. )
Fortunately there are numerous Better Ways for social and academic training than the pathetic USA edu traditional school.  least of which is 'classroom instruction with 40 similar clones'.
As for online instruction, those who are very creative and good at it can bring success and engagement from their students. BUT... Not all can do it (students or teachers). I would be surprised if even 20% of teachers are able to successfully transition to online teaching. I know a lot of Homeschool kids who have been online teaching and tutoring since before Y2K. Great income and businesses for them. One of my colleague's home school kids was tutoring German and Spanish a few yrs ago to perfect his skills. He was able to go to engineering college for FREE in Germany. Got an excellent education and contacts and subsequent international career and family.
Online education? There are a lot of ways to get this RIGHT, or... we can do it the USA 'Covid-way' (We know everything, just watch us! (fail)
I cannot think of a more untrue or unsubstantiated observation... Certainly not important or effective in my circles.

Only choose an On-Line program offered by a well known Brick & Mortar university. The diplomas will likely be no different. This is how I received my Masters in Engineering. But do some research....
Our youngest did his post-bachelor Pre-Med work at Harvard University's Extension Program and finished with a 4.0 GPA. However, since he transferred an otherwise unused Course Credit from his Undergrad School to save cost, rather than obtaining all of his Pre-Med Credits at Harvard, he was excluded from receiving a formal Certificate from Harvard for completion of their program. Strange, but in hind sight he potentially should have completed all credits in Cambridge.
