"Online education creates a more personal learning experience. It encourages students to use a variety of tools to master information in a more in-depth and applied manner than in a traditional classroom. Students have an opportunity to explore ideas and synthesize information on their own and with other classmates. Best of all, much of online education is often asynchronous and allows students to work at their own pace at a time and place that works best for the them."
