Online classes could offer all the same things that is offered in a traditional class.
Students are finding out that online programs can be an affordable education path. Though not all online programs have less expensive tuition than traditional schools, the associated costs can be lower.
"The financial benefits of enrolling in online programs at universities is that students do not have to pay commuting expenses, may not need additional child care, and most likely will be able to continue in their current employment while in school as they can manage their own schedule and do their coursework around their families and work obligations," said Vickie S. Cook, Ph.D., director, Center for Online Learning, research and service/research associate professor, University of Illinois at Springfield.
I, personally, have gone to a Traditional College and an Online College. Both have their importance, but it depends on the stage you are in your life. I needed to be in Traditional College Classes right out of high school and I needed to take Hybrid College Classes in my late 20's and early 30's and now, I need to be completely online, not stating my age now. :) I enjoyed each type of teachings.
