It is understandable that some members of teaching faculties all over the world are threatened by online teaching. Perhaps with the tools for online teaching there will be less of a need for instructors overall.

However, on the other end of the spectrum, some schools such as understaffed or crowded colleges and universities may appreciate online teaching as a way to maintain a good number of students without having to overfill classrooms.

Another advantage, especially for older students who have to work around a busy schedule, online teaching may be a great solution for their time restrictions—allowing these students to take lessons on their own time—and thus not miss out on classes they want to take, but that simply do not work with their current schedules. For these people, online teaching makes reaching their personal educational goals much, much more achievable.

There are certain drawbacks to online teaching, however. Most importantly in college and university levels there is no consultation with the professor available—which is something many students need to do their very best.

The drawbacks of online teaching in high schools, middle schools and elementary schools are similar. The students, although they can be well taught by a good program for online teaching will still have questions that it will be hard for them to ask the computer. Therefore, even if schools use online teaching, there should be a teacher present (and not just a computer lab assistant or supervisor) to assist the students with their assignments and with any questions they may have regarding the material they are studying.

If this system is understood, online teaching should not be as much of a concern for instructors, in fact, many instructors will be glad for the opportunity to work one-on-one with his or her students individually while the other students are busy at their computers continuing to learn.

When a teacher learns more about a good online teaching system, and realizes that he or she will not be fired as a result—online teaching can be something a for which teacher can really become grateful.

The best advice is for schools to choose and utilize high quality online teaching programs, being very selective when they set up a curriculum that involves online teaching.
