text: Many jobs now require an extensive knowledge of technology, among other skills, and many people have a lot to learn regarding the world of technology. Online classes, along with in-school learning, can offer a diverse learning platform to students. When taking an online class, students would benefit from having to learn how to use new technology and familiarize themselves with new programs. Due to the new widespread use of technology and online classes for higher education, students would be able to prepare themselves for their futures at a young age. Many colleges offer online classes for busier individuals, and many companies use video conferencing to communicate with colleagues or students all over the world. Diverse learning can help students develop new skills in these fields as well as offering an alternative to the traditional classroom experience. Typically, a class consists of teacher instruction and lectures. Not all students learn the same way and can best expand their knowledge and express their talents in different ways. Students who do not always learn well in a classroom may be able to flourish in an online class with video instruction. The mix of learning opportunities can also help keep students engaged in their education by not having the same learning experience every day of school. If students completed classes through a mix of online classes and on campus classes, they might be more attentive to each since they wouldn't be doing the same activities every day. A diverse learning platform through online classes is beneficial because they can help educate students about technology, teach them new skills, offer an alternative to classroom learning, and keep them engaged in their studies.
