Essay 3 - Argumentative Essay
Prompt: Will Online be the Future of Teaching or Not?
“I believe that the integration of information technology in education will be
further accelerated and that online education will eventually become an integral
component of school education,” says Wang Tao, Vice President of Tencent
Cloud and Vice President of Tencent Education. The COVID-19 pandemic has
resulted in schools and universities closure across the globe. Globally, over 1.2
billion students are out of the classroom. As a result, education has changed
dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is
undertaken remotely through digital platforms. With this sudden shift away
from the classroom in many parts of the globe, some are wondering whether the
adoption of online learning will continue to persist post-pandemic, and how
such a shift would impact the education market. Some believe that the
unplanned and rapid move to online learning, with no training and little
preparation, will result in a poor user experience that is unconducive to
sustained growth. They claim that this type of learning isn’t beneficial, on the
contrary, it is less effective and less engaging than face-to-face learning, so they
do not want to adopt it in the future. On the other hand, others believe that a
new hybrid model of education will emerge, with significant benefits. They
stress its importance in enhancing students’ skills, their sense of responsibility,
and their sense of independence. They believe that online learning is very
effective and easy for both students and teachers. As a result of these views,
some schools and universities want to adopt online teaching as part of their
programs in their coming years along with traditional teaching strategies.
Write a well-organized SIX -paragraph argumentative essay , discussing your stand
on whether you are with OR against adopting online learning when the
pandemic is over.
