AUSTRALIA – Online learning considered incapable of replacing face-to-face learning activities. There are many factors why online learning cannot be forced into the system.
Michael Phillips, associate professor at the School of Curriculum Teaching and Inclusive Education, Monash University many students find it hard to concentrate and lose motivation due to online learning.
“Technology and internet connectivity haven’t always been cooperative, and many teachers feel unprepared and under-resourced for such a rapid transition,” Michael said.

According to Michael, e-learning has two sides, one is about rejection, while on the other hand, e-learning methods are seen as appropriate to apply.
“Victoria’s largest school – Victoria Virtual School – now has over 5,500 primary and secondary students enrolled. Its growth continues, even after in-person schools return,” he said.
He sees this phenomenon as a response to the need of those who need to study but cannot go to school.
The preference for online learning is not only evident in Victoria, it is also attracting students from across Australia and around the world, with 477 full-time virtual primary and secondary schools in the United States welcoming more than 300,000 students.
“Thousands of Victoria students are actively seeking to provide their schools with additional educational opportunities in person. The Monash Virtual School provides that additional support with hundreds of free online VCE review courses in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) offered every year,” says Michel.
