E-learning has become one of the fastest growing markets in the world and shows no signs of slowing down. Although it will never supplant traditional university education, e-learning offers an attractive alternative to many people.

One major advantage of online learning is that it enables students to learn based on their own schedules. With e-learning, the participant can build a study schedule around his or her particular life situation, rather than the other way around. Another key benefit of online education is that it places no geographical restraints on students. Students with laptop computers can find a comfortable spot in any location with wireless Internet access and set
   up a virtual lecture hall. Finally, e-learning has the advantage of offering individualized instruction. For instance, students may be able to listen to prerecorded lectures, view lecture notes on-screen or print them out on paper, depending on individual preferences.

In conclusion, online education offers some major advantages. As e-learning technology continues to improve and the education market becomes more diversified, online education is likely to see further gains in popularity.

参考译文

网上教学已经成为世界上发展最迅速的市场之一，而且毫无减慢迹象。尽管网上教学永 远也不会代替传统的大学教育，但是它对许多人来讲都是一种很有吸引力的选择。

网上学习的主要优势在于学生可以按照自己的时间安排学习。有了网上课程，这些学习 者就可以按照自己的生活状态设计一个学习时间表，而不是根据学校的课程表定计划了。网 上学习的另一关键好处在于它对学生没有地域的限制。只要你有台便携式的笔记本，在任何 地方找到一个舒适的位置，且有无线上网服务，你就建立了一个虚拟的讲堂。最后，网上学 习还具有提供个性化指导的优势。比如，可以听事先录音的讲演，可以在屏幕上看讲座笔记， 也可以把笔记打印出来，采用哪种方式取决于学生的个人喜好。

总之，网上教育有诸多优势。随着网上教学技术的不断改善和教育市场的日趋多样化发 展，网上学习未来会更加流行。
