- Easy access – Using digital classrooms means the chance to offer classes and lessons to anyone in the world. In other words, the geographical barrier to e-teaching is removed. You can run classes online that are live and have students from different countries join your lesson. Students from the USA, Australia, India, Canada, and Ireland can all be involved in your online teaching at the same time.
- Cost – Teaching online can mean that the overheads for you as a freelance teacher or freelance trainer are greatly reduced. Whilst you will have to pay for key equipment for teaching online, the savings in travel costs and venue hire costs can be significant.
- Environment – Without the need to travel long distances to provide teaching and training in-person, online teaching does provide an environmentally friendly method for learning.)
