The online courses greatly differs from that of the traditional courses based on different

structured design of the context while providing the same with illustrations for supporting their
cognition. Illustrations and structured design of the content presented through the online
programs mostly appeals to the memory of the audience. However, face- to- face instructions
permit an instructor in judging the level of understanding among the students through the
application of the on- verbal techniques. Technological innovations in the educational sector
empowered the growth of the online courses while identifying the educational needs of the
students.
The design of the online learning courses and illustration- filled information supported
the cognition of the students on the different topics. The key part that requires major
consideration under this respective part can be that whether online education can be more
effective as traditional learning methods? However, the lack of interactions in the online
courses might restrict the questions that might arise out of the mind of the audience. In most of
the cases, the web- based technology played an important role in improving the quality of the
online lessons. EI (Emotional Intelligence) is a significant factor that influences the success
factors of an online course. In this relation, it has been noted that the absence of human
interactions in the online courses might frustrate the students while going through complex topic
areas, without human assistance.
The online courses are created with a certain amount of EI kept as benchmark.
However, it has been noted that the rate of cognition among the people varies which thereby
mandates assistance and interactions with the instructor for clarification of doubts on
certain topic areas. Kauffman (2015) noted that the online courses specifically assisted the
