E-learning
E-learning is a controversial matter and has gotten fans and critics in almost equal measure. People criticize the effectiveness and how resourceful this platform is and whether indeed it is fruitful. However, supporters of this matter think this platform has brought in positive aspects. I believe that online learning is convenient and should be used as a primary form of education. The paper will be looking at e-learning arguments and relate them to Aristotle’s three proofs.
Online learning supports logos; in research by Alfred and Hope, research on the introduction of E-learning is as effective as other traditional forms of learning (Rovai and Hope 67). They conclude that it produces a stronger sense of the community that any other kind of education. In research by McArthur, he supports online learning since it supports diversity; hence the reasoning of the student is better (McArthur 192-193).
E-learning supports ethos since to people associating with it over the years due to it considering credibility. A team of researchers what makes online learning a credible source of learning (Razavi et al., 47-60). These tools have enabled the standardization of online education to other forms of learning. David Mulder looks at how online learning has developed credibility and how people can assess the online platform to ascertain their quality and authenticity (Mulder 357-358).
Pathos is a factor-based within online writing, and this has been proven. In research by the duo on online learning confirms that motivation is a factor that this platform has taken heavily, and they say a lot should be done (Kyewski and Nicole 25-37)). In yet another study, the researchers study how the internet has improved people’s opinions regarding learning English on online platforms (Helwe and Chadi 35).
