text: Virtual learning and online classes could be beneficial to those who are unable to attend school. It is very hard for students to maintain the learning track they are set on if they are not in the physical building where they are getting educated. If a student is sick or traveling, they have to make up their work once they get back, and if they were gone for some time, that work can pile up. Through distance and virtual learning, the students would be able to attend class online. If they are sick and in bed or at the hospital for a few days, they would still be able to learn at the same pace as their peers. These conferences or online classes would help the students with their workload once they got back as well. Many missed days results in mounds of make up work, but the distance learning could help reduce that amount significantly, especially if they sit in to all the classes and do all the work real time. If a student, or a teacher even, is traveling and they cannot make it to the specified class, they would still be able to obtain the information without falling behind. They could video chat in or follow along with online notes in real time to hear or give an explanation.
