E-Learning: A Substitute for Classroom Learning?

Hello friends,

As this discussion, I agree with all friends. E-learning is most important for any person life. They give advantage as well as disadvantage. The advantage is that to save the tree, also save money and time. For this learning, we can find any information about any place, person, plant, village etc. Everything that we need and give knowledge within few second. But disadvantage that for this learning human are lazy, they are not self-dependent. Every person dependent on the Internet.

Disadvantages:

-> Internet is not accessible everywhere.

-> It will reduce the employment opportunities as teachers will be replaced by computers.

-> There are pre-recorded lectures so doubt session is not taken simultaneously.

-> There are always some network connectivity problems. So e-learning can not be used as a substitute till free flow of network is ensured.

-> More electric power will be consumed as it is required for the operation of computers.

-> Practical knowledge can be imparted in lab and not online.

Advantages:

-> No need to go to schools or colleges. We can attend the classes while sitting at home.

-> 3-D images can be easily visualized.

Hi, everyone.

I am going to add some points to this discussion.

Today is the world of Internet. Whether someone has something to eat or not but he will have Internet for sure. And during this time e-learning is the best way to learn anything at anytime at anywhere. I want to tell you some points in favor of e-learning.

1) The most important thing is we can save trees by saving paper.

So, we can have a better environment.

2) Take an example like if a teacher wants to teach about 3D, then he will not able to show it on board. But by images, the students can able to realize it.

3) If an aged person has the interest to learn anything, he need not join any Institute. He can have it by this.

4) The rural area students can get better stuff of learning if they want.

Due to all these advantages, we should go for e-learning.

Thank you.

I would like to stress upon the fact that People are used to learning in their native languages in their initial years and are comfortable in their own surroundings with their own friends. Consider a rural place in India. Villagers in that place will have their own mindsets, traditions and dialect. We can not bring them to a common platform because they are not advanced enough. They need people from their own community who can understand them. Suppose, for an example, You are showing a video of an airplane and explaining concepts based on that video. If the students have never seen an airplane in their life, they won't be able to relate it to their life or understand the underlying principle. Teachers are not just guides, they are people responsible for understanding the child psychology and help them in infinite ways. We can't achieve it all using e-learning.

Hello,

What do we learn in a classroom and what do we learn from e-learning are totally different from each other. In a classroom we not only get the knowledge of the subject but we learn about being a leader, how to manage a team, to make friends, to resolve problems, activeness, punctuality and many out of the books qualities. We cannot learn these by simply watching a video and seeing a presentation. By watching a video we can understand what we have seen but we cannot experience the same, through classroom we have a practical aspect of learning. Making e-learning a substitute for classroom makes students to be lazy and to be know-it-all kind.

E-learning can be used along with classroom learning to learn in a easier and faster way. We can also be updated to the technological growth through e-learning. Hence it has its own way to be involved in classroom.

It is an improved way of education. But this method student becomes so lazy and they struggle in the interview.

Hello everyone, I am Mounika Rayaprolu. This is a quite interesting topic. Everything in this world has two sides of a coin. In the E-learning process, there are advantages as well as disadvantages.

Coming to the advantages, it saves the time, helps to learn whenever we want, through visualization one can easily remember or understand the content, etc.

Talking about the disadvantages, the E-learning cannot be a substitute for class learning. For instance, if we buy a book of learning English in 30 days and started practicing it we will definitely learn something but that knowledge doesn't get equal to that knowledge learnt in classrooms. Apart of that classroom creates an environment where there will be distributing of knowledge but also interaction of relations with one another that enhances the strength of student.

So E-learning is helpful but can't have competed with classroom learning

According to me e-learning is source to provide education at very entertaining way. E-learning is a revolutionary source in our education system It will help to make our country digitalize. By the help of e-learning we can read anything at anytime and we can teach anybody at any time.

We can visualize the thing whatever we study by the help of e- learning it's helps to portray any character in our mind. So we need to understand the value of e-learning how much it is important for us.

Hello friends,

What Pavan kalyan said is correct, nowadays e-learning is becoming more and more popular, it has several benefits such as.

1. It saves our time.

2. We can found every solution of our problem in just one minutes.

3. Just like class room we can actively participating in any exam or discussion.

But still classroom study is better than e-learning. Because you cannot create the study environment by e-learning.

Ya I agree with the thing what you all said. But e-learning can't teach guide us as our teachers do. Because a teacher can understand his students personal feeling but a electronic device can't. So, what else a advanced technology come it can't be a comparable one to the teachers.
