互联网的到来已经改变了人们的生活和工作方式。越来越多的人正在考虑远程教育，这使得允许他们去在家拿到学位，尽管远程学习不同于传统大学教育在一些方面,学习者很可能发现他们能获得同等多的知识从线上课程上和他们在大学里。
The advent of the Internet has changed the way people live their lives and complete work .A growing number of people are now considering distance education,which allow them to complete a degree at home,although distance learning differs from traditional college education in some aspects,learners may find that they can gain as much knowledge from an online courses as they do at university.
远程教育很灵活而且给学习者提供教育机会去参加课程没有必要去大学。学生们能够阅读相关材料和参加课程通过看视频。当他们在吸收信息时有问题，他们能够按暂停键并且重放视频直到他们完全地理解内容。
Distance education is flexible and offers learners educational opportunities to attend lectures without having to travel to university.Students can read relevent material and attend lectures by watching videos.When they have problems in digesting information, they can click the pause button and replay the video until they fully understand the contents .
线上教育的发展也使学生与讲师交流成为能为可能无论何时需要的时候。学生能够使用互动交流工具问问题在虚拟教室或者告诉讲师通过邮件。用这种方法，这些学习者能够获得讲师的指导快速的，因此完成全部课程更有效地。这确实与和教授互动在教室在真实的生活中相同。尽管住在他们自己的国家，他们甚至能与学者交流来自世界各地顶尖的大学。
The improvements in online education also make it possible for students to communicate with their lecturers whenever necessary.students can use interactive communication tools to ask questions in virtual classes or talk to lecturers via email.In this way,these learners can get lecturers' guidence immidiately,thereby completing all courses effectively. this is exactly the same as the interaction with professors in lecture rooms in the real life.In spite of living in their own countries,they can even communicate with scholars from top universities around the world.
尽管这些事实，远程教育不会提供 学生社交经验这些能够在实体大学中获得。学生们独立地完成学位并且没有机会相互认识以及相互交流。他们没有机会去建立人脉，这些会有负面的影响在他们的职业发展中。相比之下，那些人在大学里学习的能够参与一系列活动在校园里比如做运动和参加俱乐部，这些能够帮助他们建立紧密的人际关系。
In spite of these facts,distance education may not offer students networking experience which can get in a brick and mortar college. Students complete their degree independently and do not have opportunities to meet each other and socialise together.They have no chance to build up a network of contacts,which can have a negative impact on their career development. In contrast,those who study at university can do a wide range of activities on campus such as playing sport and joining clubs,which can help them build close relationships.
总的来说，互动技术使学习者能够与讲师很容易地交流，并且受益于远程教育产生的机会。因此我认为远程教育现在和传统获得学位的方式在大学里一样好。
All in all,interactive technology has enabled learners to communicate with lecturers easily and benefit from the opportunties presented by distance education.So I believe that distance education is now as good as traditional ways of completing a degree at university.
