The norm, unfortunately (luckily for some) is now online learning. With new waves of COVID-19 coming all over the world, educational institutes like all others move to online functioning until the danger has passed. While this may be an inconvenience for some because not all households are best equipped to cater to online classes it is quite helpful for others. In this piece, we will explore how online learning is beneficial for students of Pakistan. Benefit 1: Convenience The first benefit that comes to mind when discussing online classes for FSC is a convenience for teachers and students. When classes are being conducted in physical classrooms, there is a tonne of factors that hinder students from performing their best. Commuting to college is one of the biggest factors that can take a significant amount of time in a student’s day. Not all teachers and pupils live nearby campus as some have to commute for hours as well. Long commutes are not only physically draining but take away a huge portion of a student's precious time in a day. With e-learning commuting has been reduced to zero, ensuring that students are present vigilantly and on time. Benefit 2: Flexibility With convenience comes flexibility. Not all students are registered in institutes that follow live classes for FSC. Instead, some study with the help of online FSC courses. These courses have been designed in a way that covers the entire syllabus keeping a single student and their needs in mind. These classes have notes prepared by the teacher by the end of each module so the student may revise and study on their own as well. Furthermore, tests, MCQ’s and feedback can also be taken by the instructor if the students wish to. These cheap online FSC courses can be taken at the student’s own pace. The benefit that can be seen is that the recorded lecture can be revisited anytime ensuring maximum understanding and information retention for the pupil. Since these classes are more of a self-studying mode, if a student is enrolled for physical classes in an institute, they can still benefit from these. Physical classes in the morning and online FSC classes in the evening can be a great method of concept revision. Benefit 3: Economical Though enjoyable, physical classes come with their own set of expenses. On top of the college fees, parents have to pay for transport, lunch and other miscellaneous expenses. With the mode of learning shifting to digital, all the extra expenses can be easily taken out. There will be no travelling cost, lunch expense among much more. If students wish to enrol themselves in an online course for FSC, that is also a significantly more economical way to go than an institute. The cost for these courses is a fraction of what private institutes charge with a tonne of benefits. To summarise online classes: Save time Offer flexibility in routine Save money Physical classes may be important and enjoyable for school going students but FSC students can benefit a whole lot more from online learning. With its versatility and many pros, intermediate students can focus on their studies without the many distractions that college life comes with.
