　　An inspiring cartoon, at the first glimpse, mirrors the prevailing tendency of online education. To be specific, in front of screen sit a host of students, active and earnest, aspiring to learn brand-new knowledge as if a genuine renowned tutor were instructing these children face to face. As the caption reads, it is so awesome to receive the distinguished teaching on the Internet without being admitted to esteemed schools.

　　Conspicuously, such episode crystalizes the sobering fact that, with the net emerging and booming, the cascade of curriculums online makes a substantial difference to average folks, especially those from impoverished areas short of affluent and quality education recourses. Translated, nothing would be more indispensable for equality in access to instruction than web-based learning. For one thing, it is universally convinced that the prevalence of online course is not only to encourage individual growth, but might possibly be beneficial to narrow the gap between western districts and well-developed cities, and more probably to advance national quality education on the whole scale. For another, clusters after clusters of students, from learner’s perspective, are likely to embrace more opportunities, on the network, of selecting their preferable classes as well as teachers.

　　Overall, social epidemic of online courses makes good sense in some spheres of modern education. Even better would be to elevate the notion of making the best of web classes in an elegant and sound manner.
