Learning Disabilities and the Internet

I once read an article on the internet about this girl who was paralyzed from the waist below. One would think that this would be another sob story about a paralyzed girl. But no. This article was about how this girl overcame adversity, of how she didn't let her physical disabilities deter her from having a life, and of how the internet helped her learn.

It's actually really inspiring.

Now, everyone can use the internet to study and get a college degree. Some Universities even offer a Master's degree online.

The disadvantages of not learning in a scholastic environment such as a classroom still remains to be seen, but hey...getting a College degree online from a reputable University without stepping outside of your house is pure convenience in its ultimate form.
