E-Learning: A Substitute for Classroom Learning?

I agree with all the points but E-Learning also have advantages. In classroom learning we learn whatever the teacher will teach but E-Learning helps you to know the subject more deeply. Internet is obviously more update than any person.

E-Learning can be self paced or instructor led. Good education is available only in cites. E-Learning can help villagers to gather proper knowledge. If we think about cyber classroom then there teaching will conducted by E-Learning but under the hands instructor. Hence E-Learning is beneficial but under the supervision of good instructor it will b magic.

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.

My opinion about e-learning is e-learning only gives deep information about one of the subject but classroom learning giver memorable moments in our life, so classroom learning is better.

Hi,

Would stand for E-learning for sure, could be amazing tool to gain experience and knowledge in various aspects, just as any other, got to have some weaknesses, starting with lack of interact which widely known as increasing the productivity in gaining information Etc, not to mention it requires someone with high motivational tendency.

Yet, won't say its a pure substitution for a real classroom, may be something that could work as the same, for some people only, not something to be globalized on all.

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.

My contribution towards this is that since learning is a process of acquiring knowledge or some thing. It's at a larger extent that the world is running into modernity where people will be served by robots with time to come. The characteristic of these robots is that they are computers in nature that evolved as means of technology. This means that e-learning has improved people's modes of education in that we have the bachelors, masters, and Ph.D. being conducted through e-learning. It's also reducing the distance and transport costs of far away institutions. The e-learning programs have got many people of different races from different continents sharing knowledge in accordance with their view of content, it can minimize congestion in a classroom. Furthermore, e-learning is both teacher centered and student centered which enables the movement of knowledge from the higher level (teacher) to the lower level (student), thank you.

Hi,

According to my point of view, e-learning is good than classroom learning also e-learning can good for the city because in a city you can access the internet fastly and it provide us good learning habit for reading. Nowadays it can improve our skill or mostly some students can't devote their time on social networking sites.

E-learning is just the perfect add on to classroom learning fo effective understanding and better application-level approaches, more than being a substitute by itself to classroom education. Hence without leaving out the necessary social interactions and activities that classroom teaching bring out to students, e-learning could be used as a tool to invoke their curiosity and indulge in their topics of interest with even more passion.

Start-up cost of an E-Learning service is expensive and the cost of production of online training materials is very high.

Teachers must be confident that the extra costs are balance with the benefits of delivering a course online.

Significant time needs to be invested in course set-up and in ongoing maintenance (checking links, updating course content etc).

Flexibility may be lost as adjustments to the course in response to student reaction are not easy to make once the course is underway.

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.
