text: The internet while powerful, is simultaneously fickle. For online learning to succeed, a stable internet connection is required. It is doubtful that every single student will have that luxury. Online learning is especially vulnerable at the time when it would be the most useful, which is in harsh weather conditions. A snowstorm or thunderstorm could take out the internet and nullify the entire operation. Another option could be for the teacher to create and assign a video for the students to watch. This is not ideal because teaching in real-time can be vital in the learning process.
