In the early stages of COVID-19, schools realized for the safety of their students, they moved forward to online eLearning. Employers also move their employees to working online from home as well. This was a huge shift for everyone since it created challenges at first. However, once people adapted to this new learning and working environment, they saw the benefits of online learning. Here is five benefits why online learning is more fitting for some:
