Writing an opinion essay. Topic: E-learning platforms
Move your mouse over the different paragraphs
E-Learning platforms usage is at its peak. There are many of them,
each with its own set of features and characteristics, and they serve
all sorts of purposes. In my view, these platforms are great tools.
It must be acknowledged that e-learning platforms are attractive
for students because technology is, supposedly, part of a modern
teen's daily life. Besides, these platforms offer the possibility of
choosing when and where they study and learn.
Regarding teachers, these platforms include planning tools that
help us link all the activities to the curriculum. They also integrate
assessment tools which allow us to check a student's progress quite
easily. Although some teachers are still reluctant to using a learning
platform in the classroom, basically because they don't understand
how these platforms work, their use is setting ground steadily because
most educators recognize that these tools make learning more
interactive and easier.
In short, it's quite clear that e-learning platforms are powerful tools
susceptible to misuse and prone to errors, but when used to their full
potential they can be very useful for both students and teachers.
