Hi Irene,
I’m really interested in new types of distance learning and find this one quite effective. Nowadays the Internet is quite popular all over the world, it opens new possibilities and help people to cooperate no matter in what part of the world they live. So, why not use modern technologies such as the Internet in education? I consider Elerning to be full-fledged learning as it provides students with developing skills and gaining knowledge. Using the Internet, microphones and web cameras any student may easily study this way. But still, from my point of view, the most effective way of studying is combination of traditional education and Elearning.
What do you think of this Ira?
Thank you for your comment, Ann. I think it does make sense.

thank you for such an interesting point of view and approach to the problem of E-learning. but i suppose, that reducing environmental impact is out of the topic. i would like to read more about advantages and disadvantages of methods of e-learning in a classroom, as there can't be only advantages of it.
I like this topic of discussion very much as it is rather relevant nowadays. And it is very important for people who have some problems of health, lack of ability to move. They can study and learn some interesting things online. And it is also useful for busy people.
Thank you, Irene! I'm pleased to see you are interested in this topic and my article in particular. It really has a lot of benefits!
I agree that electronic learning can provide a lot of benefits for everyone. It is very modern and powerful kind of learning. Online courses are very effective, interesting and exiting. They are certainly for our generation!
