text: Another benefit students can have from distant learning is gaining more knowledge. After the school year is over, during the summer, a student can take an online course if he feels that he is struggling in a certain subject. Online classes are always good to take during the summer because it is a better way to learn when school is out of session. This helps the student gain more knowledge and have a better understanding of the subject which helps the student be ahead for the following school year. For example, a student wished to take a science online course over the summer because he had a hard time in this subject. The student wanted to understand and expand his knowledge in science so he took the course and in the next school year, he was able to understand everything that his teacher taught in class. His knowledge in science was expanded and earned him a high grade in science. This was another way that students could benefit from taking an online class.
