it can be said that online education is widely used nowadays. It is because of growth in
technology or dynamic education style of today's scenario.
The premises for the argument are different here. The first premise is that it is right to say
technology is disrupting the market for education just as it has disrupted the market for news. On
the basis of this premise it can be said that technology is the foremost reason of growth in
education sector. It has turned out the traditional learning as online learning. Another premise is
that online education provides a lot of savings both in terms of time and money. This premise
support the reason of why people chose online learning than traditional learning (Van Doorn,
2014).
The main reason behind discussion of the same topic is that it have gained the attention of
today’s generation. It is because technological growth comes with a large number of influences
on education industry. Therefore, the online and offline is the foremost priority of students to
consider.
The conclusion is that online learning is far better than the traditional learning. It is because
online learning save time and money that serve as a core for student’s development. On the other
hand, the student can’t gain significant experience with online learning. Therefore, online
learning preferred by most of the individuals.

There are a lot of key facts, research or resources that are supported the above-mentioned
argument. The first and the foremost key fact is the data produce by time Marginal Revolution
University. The university has developed its first online program on the topic development
economics. On the other hand, another key facts are the benefits derived by students through
online learning.
C
The logic and reasoning to advance the argument has been used as per previous researches. On
the basis of previous research sources, and online readings, the logics and readings are
propounded to prove argument. The logic that have been used to prove the online learning better
than offline learning is benefits derived by different student (Zawacki-Richter, 2014). This will

On the other hand, the strength is that it come with exact outcomes than other reasons.
