What are the benefits of online seminary? While online seminary is different than the face-to-face classes, it also has some unique benefits. No matter if they are shy or outgoing, all students can participate equally in an online seminary class, because each can take the time they need to carefully craft their responses. Online seminary teachers and students have noted that the comments in online seminary can be deep and reflective. Students do not feel the pressure to respond quickly, and tend to ponder more deeply the questions they are given. In addition, many online seminary activities allow for one-on-one student-teacher interaction, creating the possibility for meaningful, individualized instruction as well. While it does require extra effort, online students who commit to and participate in their online seminary class report wonderful opportunities to learn from the scriptures and by the Spirit. There are many blessings that can come into the lives of the youth through seminary, whether they are in a daily, online, or home-study class. "When you have the chance to be involved in seminary, whether in the early-morning or in released-time classes, take advantage of that opportunity. Many of you are attending seminary now. As with anything in life, much of what you take from your seminary experience depends on your attitude and your willingness to be taught. May your attitude be one of humility and a desire to learn. How grateful I am for the opportunity I had as a teenager to attend early-morning seminary, for it played a vital role in my development and the development of my testimony. Seminary can change lives. "Let seminary help build and strengthen your testimony. There will be times when you'll face challenges which might jeopardize your testimony, or you may neglect it, as you pursue other interests. I plead with you to keep it strong. It is your responsibility, and yours alone, to keep this flame burning brightly. Effort is required, but it is effort you will never, ever regret."
