Students will no longer require residency away from home at the halls of residence or student houses thus saving them vast sum of money over the four years of study. The online education system also allows students to obtain degrees from a higher education institution of their choice, as geographical boundaries are no longer an issue. So therefore a student living in the USA can study for their BSc Hons in Computing at the University of Wolverhampton without worrying about the costs. The On-line education method allows people who are unable to attend universities to obtain degrees by studying when it is convenient for them. People like minors and factory workers who work unsociable hours can now take advantage of E-education.
Many people admit they'd never walked through a college door before.
Most miners for example are used to working shifts, the idea of studying at flexible times is not necessarily an alien concept to them. The dependency on computer knowledge and the need of IT equipment will however discourage some potential students so therefore not all students will be interested in E-education. The Electronic age should reduce the pressure that lecturer is under and make there job's easier. On-line education should enable lecturers to lecture and mark assessments from the comfort of there home. However I believe this would be a downside for lecturers as their professional life would collide with their private life and as a result it would have a dire affects on there social life.
