Is online learning a great thing?


If you don't already know, ELearning is a place where students can take online courses. It is one of the worst places to learn mainly because of the user interface and the difficulty of getting things done. 

The UI-

I am taking a course online and getting things done is SO difficult. First, The courses are not properly organised. Some of the assignments in the homepage are mixed with other classes and it can be confusing. Next, The overall course modules are not great. Though they are organised in folders, when going through a module, it is not easy due to that it feels like you are using a browser within a browser. 

Ease of Use- 

This is what drives me away from succeeding in a course. When completing an assignment, Their are buttons all over the place. I personally can't figure out what button(s) to press because some are on top of the page while others are at the bottom of the page. It is super confusing. 

Positives of ELearning-
- I can access all my assignments from anywhere
- I can submit assignments at my own pace. 

The bad about ELearning-
- It has a horrible Interface
- It is not easy to use
- It is not made for first time online course takers.

Conclusion-

Overall, ELearning is a great tool, but if students really are passionate to passing, they need a good working environment. 

Are you an online course taker? If so, what are your experiences? 

Let me know down below.
