In this day and age, taking courses on virtual platforms has become more prevalent,
while the convential method of using brick-and mortar classrooms has become less
popular. I believe that this trend is the result of the cost and time efficiency of the
newer method, and it may bring about major benefits for learners and educators.

The rise of online learning stems from its unmatched levels of time-saving and cost-
effectiveness. In the traditional classroom model, institutions must cover high overhead
costs such as rent and equipment. Additionally, both teachers and students have to
commute, which leads to higher travel expenses and a greater time commitment. In
contrast, virtual education can eliminate the need to commute, reducing the cost of
transport and helping both teachers and students to be more flexible with their
schedules. Also, by leveraging the ability to connect and interact on online platforms,
schools no longer need to rely on physical facilities and infrastructure, decreasing
operational costs without sacrificing the quality of teaching.
Schools = institutions

Due to the unique features of virtual learning, society can gain various significant
benefits. By using the technological features available in online learning platforms,
teachers can enhance the interactivity of their lessons, boost student engagement, and
potentially elevate educational outcomes. For instance, Microsoft Whiteboard, a
commonly used tool for online education, can facilitate collaborative brainstorming as
students and their teachers contribute to a project on the screen together. In addition,
teachers can save time by using the ability of virtual earning platforms to provide quizzes
and score them immediately, allowing them to allocate their effort to lesson planning
and student support.
