• Cost savings, as students do not need to spend on transportation, clothing, food, materials, among others;
• Innovative pedagogy, as the teaching method utilizes cutting-edge technologies to enhance students’ learning;
• Interaction, with significant interaction among teachers, students, and peers;
• Inclusion, as it provides access to quality education;
• Discipline, since students have a fixed schedule to follow;
