问题     Nowadays, distance-learning programs have gained in popularity (those teaching programmes that involve the use of written materials, videos, televised lessons and the Internet), but some people argue that courses can never be taken as good as those by attending a college or university in person.

答案 The advent of the Internet has changed the ways people live their lives and complete work, A growing number of people are now considering distance education, which allows them to complete a degree at home. Although distance learning differs from traditional college education in some aspects, learners will possibly find that they can gain as much knowledge from an online course as they do at university. In distance learning programmes, students can access the same content of degree courses as those who attend lectures in person. They can read relevant materials, such as textbooks and class notes, and attend video lessons, which are recorded lectures of reputable professors. When they have problems in comprehending some key concepts, they can click the pause button and replay the video until they fully digest information. The improvements in online education also make it possible for students to communicate with their lecturers whenever necessary. Students can use interactive communication tools to ask questions in virtual classes or talk to lecturers via email. In this way, these learners can get lecturers’ guidance immediately, thereby completing all courses more effectively. This is exactly the same as the interaction with professors in lecture rooms. Despite living in their own countries, students can even communicate with scholars from top universities around the world. While distance education has clear advantages, it may not offer participants the same networking experience they can get in a bricks and mortar college. Students complete their degree independently and do not have opportunities to meet each other and socialise together. This can have a negative impact on their career development in view of the importance of building up a network of contacts. In contrast, those who study at university can do a wide range of activities on campus such as playing sport and joining clubs, which can help them build close relationships. In conclusion, interactive technology has enabled learners to communicate with lecturers easily and gain qualifications, so I believe that distance education is now as good as traditional ways of completing a degree at university.
