I find that teaching online gives me the freedom to be online from anywhere at anytime. So, for me, this is a benefit. I'm doing what I like and typically in an environment that I like (such as on the couch with my cats). I can go away on holiday and still be doing my job during the typical 'down' times and/or in the same room where activity is going on so I don't feel like I missed something. I only wish I could be employed full-time as an online instructor.
