The ever increasing demand for specialized higher courses offered by different universities vouches for the popularity of networked learning. Furthermore, it affords unmatched interactivity amongst learners, tutors and online resources. This promotes social interaction and generates new opportunities for them to work together in groups. Networked learning makes learning relationships more democratic, and there is more flexibility to the learner in terms of time and place. Because anyone can access the resources from anywhere in the world, it promotes higher education even in under-developed or developing countries. Thus a person in a remote location, where there are no facilities for quality education, can avail the resources provided by a university in a large city.

Any advantage of networked learning will serve its purpose only when supportive teaching accompanies it. Otherwise, it may pose some challenges.
