Hey Victor!

Great questions! I think e-learning has some standout benefits. For starters, the flexibility it offers is a huge plus.

You can often learn at your own pace and on your own schedule, which is perfect for balancing with other commitments.

Also, the accessibility to a wide range of resources and courses that might not be available locally is a major advantage.

On the flip side, online learning can be challenging. One big issue I’ve encountered is the lack of immediate feedback.

Sometimes, it’s hard to gauge how well you’re grasping the material without in-person interaction.

Additionally, staying motivated and disciplined can be tougher when you’re learning from home with all the distractions around.

The greatest advantage of online learning for me is the ability to study at my own pace. I can review lectures and materials as needed, which allows me to understand complex topics more deeply than in traditional classroom settings.
