Essays on Online Vs. Traditional Classes

Online and classroom-based education are two different types of learning. Although both offer high-quality learning, each has its own teaching method and establishes its own channels and guidelines for learning. Online education uses the Internet and information and communications technology (ITC), making courses dynamic, intuitive and easy to follow. While with classroom-based learning, students go to a physical classroom where the teaching and much of the learning takes place.

Online system enables students to attend classes, work, communicate, take exams and access content wherever they may be. It stimulates students' independence and curiosity, collaborative work, critical thinking and self-directed learning. This system also diversifies sources of knowledge.
