Risks: Online learning also poses risks in students not being given the opportunity to interact with other students face-to-face. The interaction with your professor and peers all happen online and you lose out on the human interaction and bonding that would happen during your usual college experience. It doesn't provide the student the entire college experience of making new friends, going through the stresses of exams and assignments and fun times that happen while you spend your days on campus between and during classes. The online learner misses out on the bond that they would have been granted if they had attended classes rather than completing their classes over the internet.
Benefits: Successful completion of an online course can be added to your resume not only because you completed the program but also because of the qualities required for you to have been successful in it. Online learners may add "online learning" to their resume, this can be a selling feature to employers as you have proven to be tech-savvy and proven to have excellent time management skills. Online learning requires good communication skills as none of your meetings are face-to-face. This is also an excellent quality that employers look for in their employees.
