By Annabelle Holman


The advancement in technology has brought better to the human kind. Although some may use it in ways which may not of any help to their lives, other are celebrating it by making good use of it. One of the ways is the offering of online theological seminary. It involves offering of theology lessons through the internet platform. This has brought with it a number of merits to the scholars and also the practitioners. Some of these advantages are outlined below.

It can reach to countless people all over the globe at the same time. It is due to the diversity that is associated to it. It is a platform that accommodates millions of users at a go. More people can therefore access the learning materials irrespective of where they are provided they have a device that allows the connection to the internet.

Provided there is internet accessibility, the scholars are able to read and qualify as trained professionals. This method has no limitations to distant and the scholars should not necessarily move to the learning centers. It enables the learners to get the materials from a central point.

It also has a reduced operational cost. This is because no structures have to be built as the learning centers. There is also no other charges like those associated with the management and other services providers in the institutions. The work of tutors is also subsidized or may be eliminated at all. The charges associated with other regular activities like tuition, development, employment of an office staff are not incurred.

Theological institutions have no need of scheduled learning time. This platform enables the scholars to read at their own convenient time. Learning materials are posted to them and there is no follow up of when they should read. This is very important as one can do their work and set to read at their own free time.

The time taken to complete the training is also less compared to the regular time that one has to use in learning centers. This is because there are no breaks involved in the method; this time is instead used for the training. There is also no time wasted in the admission and moving up and down looking for the schools.

It also made more affordable to learners. This is because; in the learning centers they have to be charged a lot of fee. It may be to cater for their accommodation, food, tuition, activity and development among others. At times the fee may be hiked due to changes of the economic status of a state. It is usually a disadvantage to those who are less privileged financially.

The above advantages are very important. They encourage more scholars in emulating this method instead of an ancient one. More people should thus select it so as to save more and use the shortest time possible for the training. This in turn ensures that more theologians graduate almost at the same time across the globe.
