Taking any kind of an online course is an opportunity to develop yourself, to know something new and it is great that you can get some knowledge in different spheres without leaving your home and paying any money. But it goes without saying that any online course has both advantages and disadvantages.
First of all I would like to say that it is really a great advantage that you can take some additional courses and master you level in any subject. You can develop your skills in any sphere you like. Also you can try something new and it can be free of charge. By the way during the courses, you have an opportunity to read, to write, to listen, share your opinions, to be examined and given advice by the tutors. So, you can really achieve a lot if you do all of the tasks demanded. Besides, you can communicate with other participants and do different tests. You are provided with a lot of materials and you have enough time to do everything and to learn. You should not be in a hurry.
But on the other hand, you cannot discuss all the questions alive during the online course. Usually you have only written tasks, so it masters only your written skills. Besides the material which is supposed to be read, usually is not read properly, as nobody can check it for sure. Once I took part in online course about literature. And in it I should only listen and read. It was really boring. Though, it was one of the most popular on that site.
