Challenges that a person faces with online learning are many:

• The environment at home isn’t conducive for studying as there are many distractions.
• At times there are Wifi problem or connection errors.
• At times, your gadgets aren’t in a good working condition.
• You tend to become anti-social as you don’t interact with your peer group much.
• You lack self-motivation, discipline and self-esteem.  

Explanation:

When we opt for online learning, we definitely are able to study from the comfort of our homes but we also have many distractions.  The ringing of doorbells, phone calls and people visiting your place disturb you and you are not able to concentrate in your studies.  Wi-Fi problems also hinder our studies as sometimes, the signal is weak because of which you lose contact with your online mentors or lectures.

When you go out and study in physical classroom, you learn the values of sharing, cooperation and teamwork which makes you ready for life as you learn to deal with people from different backgrounds and different mindsets. We can work with other student by sharing our gadgets, discussing problems and finding solutions by seeking each other’s help or with the help of the mentor.
