Online education was initially offered to the working class. It was offered as an option to study for those who were stuck up in their work schedule and were unable to take full-time classes.

Many universities, while realizing the fact that not everyone can pursue a regular college course, are also aware of the tremendous power of Internet. Hence, almost all of them have started offering further education online too.

There are two main reasons why it is a bit difficult for many to acquire a regular college education- affordability and accessibility. Many sharp brains stay still under the peer pressure of their economical conditions. There are several families who cannot afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars to get their child enrolled in a good college.
There are several other students with a better economical standard, but living far away from universities or across the country border too. Even though they can afford to pay for the college education, it is almost impossible for them to stay abroad.
However, there are no boundaries to gain education while using internet. One can pursue an online course that the nearby colleges or universities dont provide. One can pursue online education without travelling down to the university across the borders.
