text: The school work given in a public school is normally on paper, but when it comes to online it's either on a website or maybe on Google classroom. Everybody knows that old "my dog ate my homework excuse" well with online courses the student wouldn't have any excuses to not turn in their work because it is not on paper. Most students either forget it at home, tear up the paper, or just completely forget they even have the assignment, but when it's on technology they can do it right away and turn it in once they're done with they assignment and have no excuse on why they did not do it. Homework maybe hard sometimes and students may or may not have help at home, the student could just video call their teacher or guide and ask for help and not have to worry about failing or not understanding the assignment. The work load given to a student in school can be little or no help but in online course you are given much harder assignments that will help you become a smarter person, it all depends on the student and the way the learn.
