With the spread of COVID 19, E-learning or Digital education became much more common and reachable. The process of learning through computers and the internet is known as Digital education.
For learning online one doesn’t need to visit a school, university, or any kind of classroom. With pandemics and a ban on all kinds of public gatherings all educational institutions, offices, and businesses are closed. Offices introduced work from home policies, educational institutions introduced online study by which a person can learn and work in the safety of their own house. All the religion and Quran education institutions also started online courses. Medina Quran academy started a list of online courses to keep educating students about Islam.
But as we thankfully see a major decrease in virus spread and with all the lockdown restrictions uplifting. We see educational institutions opening back up and continuing their conventional way of on-campus education.
Those institutes which already have a curated online education system still offer online courses and there are chances that they will make this permanent. For Quran studies, I believe this is a good step as medina Quran academy and others started offering online education. Now Muslims from non-muslim countries can also get education from the best Quran academy in the medina.
Like every aspect of life, online education also comes with its pro and cons. Not everyone is happy with at-home learning through a screen. Online education comes with its benefits, I’m going to enlist the few advantages of online education.
It’s Accessible:
online education is accessible to everyone and is not like conventional education which is limited to few people. No matter which region you belong to, you can learn online courses from institutes of your choice. For Quran education, you can choose from the world’s top Quran academies, you can study the Quran Kareem from Medina Quran Academy too, the institute from the city of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Many top world universities are offering online degree programs, technical courses, and digital courses.
Even for this singular reason, the online Digital education system is gonna flourish and will be widespread shortly. With thousands of online courses available from top professionals, one is going to prefer learning online from experts.
Flexible and Time-saving:
With the choice in the timetable, you can set your lessons according to your availability. No need to leave your important appointments for traveling to the classroom. You can study anywhere with a laptop and the working internet.
if you’re not prying on statistics, learning anything online is a tremendous concept. There are many alive examples of how online education can help young people become accountants, lawyers, financial analysts, real estate agents, etc. In Medina Quran academy, Class timings are available 24 hours. You can choose your preferred time. If you want to learn a new skill and start entrepreneurship, learning a new skill online can help you achieve your goals. There are thousands of skills available online from competent people who can give you an insight into the nectar of the whole course.
Cost-Effective:
Online education is budget-friendly. You asked to pay a little less than regular because the cost that you are saving from your commute also adds up. If you are a student who lives away from his hometown for study, then by online education courses you can study at home and save rent too.
Choice in institutes and programs:
There are thousands of institutions offering nearly a million courses on their websites, you can choose from business studies to information technology, from religious education to social study.
Medina Quran Academy is an association that offers One-on-One Live Classes for a focused learning experience. Availability of Qualified Arab and non-Arab teachers guaranteed. Just like that, there are hundreds of free courses available online from top universities to small schools.
Few cons of the online education system are listed below:-
According to a survey of 0ver 80k students, just about 11-15% of students agreed that this online mode of education is as productive as physical classroom learning. Some students are slow learners, some have a habit of a conventional classroom environment. For those students, online education is not good because they can end up failing the course.
Online education requires strict time management skills and strong self-motivation. When a student lost his motivation then the failure in that course is written. Unlike in a regular classroom where your fellow keeps a check and you somehow try to move forward with them. Self-isolation that comes with online studies is one of the main causes that students ate suffering from mental health issues.
Given all the pros and cons I believe online education will be the new normal. The medina Quran Academy is one of the institutes that will keep prospering and making an impact through online Quran education.
