But there are many issues involved on on-line education which needs to be taken into account. On-line education is positively beneficial to all age groups searching for a way to engage on a formal kind of qualification and also promises to attend to a bigger public rather than a traditional one, for instance a disabled person or a housewife could easily study from home at their own pace instead of following a fixed timetable.
