Online classes vs traditional classes debate

Type of learning 

   There are different types of learning out of which are e-learning and other traditional learning and both types of learning are very different from each other.

1. Traditional classes. 

       In traditional classes teachers easily know how many students understand the concept due to body language and question-answer sessions. 

2. Online classes. 

    In this session, many students are connected in one meeting. Teachers and students both face difficulties in online classes due to close the institutions for covid19. 

The debate between online and traditional classes.

Online learning is held through the internet connection and it is also e-learning or distance learning, while traditional learning is also known as physical classes. Traditional learning is held in classrooms. one difference between online and traditional learning is the flexibility of time and place. We can attend online from anywhere we want at any time. As many people are doing a job and are not able to attend the traditional class but they can attend online classes from their workplaces. In online classes, the students are able to take classes at any time of his/her convenience. Electricity problems in some countries, which make it difficult to attend the online classes but, if anyone misses a class they can get a recording of the lecture which they can listen to later this facility not only for absent students it's for everyone. However, in traditional learning, we have to take classes on time at the campus. If we are getting late we may miss our attendance and lecture can also be missed. Many things are against the discipline policy of the campus and class. Online learning has a lot of advantages and few have a disadvantage but this disadvantage makes a lack of confidence. Online learning develops digital literacy skills which are increasingly required in the workplace environment as time is passing. Most of the companies use a different type of software which requires digital literacy. In traditional learning, we get many chances to participate in extra curriculum activities.
