text: Some can argue though, that distance learning does not benefit students for reasons such as lack of internet, lack of interaction with teachers or other students, or lack of being able to monitor whether the student is cheating. However, these reasons can be argued against. For example, if a student lacks internet, online classes are optional, so they can opt out of online classes, or they could get internet, by either buying wifi or going somewhere with wifi. Also, online classes have video conferencing, so students could still have interaction with the teacher and other students, and the students can easily communicate with the teacher through email if needed. Also, measures can be and are put in place to prevent cheating, for example, the end of course test for online classes are usually held in a normal classroom setting at a school and certain sites used for schools do not allow students to leave it while in the middle of an assignment, such as powerschool.
