I think for different students it is different things, so I dont think there is “a” reason, but many reasons. For some it is that online they dont need to deal with the social interactions and distractions of the class. Some students may prefer the individual work more common online, to the groupwork which has become increasing common in classrooms. Some students like to be able to do the learning at a time and in a place of their preference rather than following a fixed timetable with learning in the classroom. I suspect flexibility in online learning is a big advantage however again this may help some students, but hinder others.
