雅思写作范文：远程教育和网络课程将会取代传统课程

Distance learning and online computer courses would replace traditional

classroom learning.

Descriptions of the changes wrought by the information revolution have scientifically

proven how advanced and civilized our society is becoming. Recently, New York Times

published a lengthy article on the University of Phoenix ---- a virtual university that

offers accredited degrees for coursework performed entirely on the Internet. However,

some people doubt if this trend will bring us benefits. Admittedly, from an enlightened

and pragmatic perspective, I, personally, would assert that it's the time for alternative

teaching methodologies to take the leading position from traditional classroom learning.

Not only the supporters of alternative learning, but also, I suppose, all of us could not

deny the time-effectiveness and individualization that it brings to us. Unlike the

traditional classroom learning which requires students to physically participate in class ,

distance learning and online computer courses allow students who for various reasons

could not come to the classroom to customize their class schedules. For instance, a

single working mother, who has to work full-time in order to pay checks, cannot fit the

curriculum schedule in a real classroom, but might have a larger possibility to enroll

some courses through distance learning and online computer courses. That is,

alternative learning styles turn the

practical action right now.

Besides, it is alternative learning styles that enhance the quality and efficiency of

individual learning. In most cases, alternative learning styles outweigh traditional

classroom learning for one noticeable success that problem-solving process where most

students have learning difficulties and problems is highly highlighted. In traditional

classrooms, class time is given so limited for teachers to identify students' learning

difficulties and problems and to demonstrate knowledge further to solve them; however,

distance learning as well as online computer courses provides each student with a better

approach to ask questions of his(her) own and then get feedbacks from the teacher

accordingly, which would concededly facilitate his(her) learning process at most.

Advantageous though they seem to be, alternative learning styles still have a long way to

go. Based on the Internet and computer, the practicality of enforcement in nationwide

scale seems beyond action. Moreover, the assessment measures up to each individual

vary from one person to another, which is lack of some validity and reliability.

From what was previously well stated, I firmly believe that as the emergence of

alternative learning styles, traditional classroom learning will somehow be taken the

throne in educational field in the future.
