In my opinion, E-Learning can be an either useful, or extremely frustrating alternative to regular class. The course I am currently taking (Grade 11 University Functions) Is incredibly difficult, and it is not because of the content, it is how the teacher portrays it. My previous E-Learning teacher was quite helpful and understanding, pushing my due dates back when I was sick, and actually helping me with assignments, while my current teacher fails to aid me in the hardest of times, and sometimes will not even respond to my emails.

E-learning is a gamble into how your experience is going to be. I have had a rather great one, and a horrid experience that I still have to endure for 4 months, but I personally believe that all learning should be taken into a classroom environment, as you have real teachers to guide you to success.

Learning things directly from faculties is good but E-learning is also useful. Our faculties may miss some points what we can learn from E-learning. I don't think there is any wrong in learning things from different sources if you have the capability.

Hi everybody,

I think e-learning can boost the classroom learning of student. However classroom environment and practical interaction with teacher and friends are more important factors for classroom learning as compare to e-learning.

Having said that I also want to mention e-learning is can be astonishingly fruitful if provided in planned manner. On one hand classroom learning ensures discipline and proper interaction of student, on the other hand e-learning can be a tool to ease the basic understanding of the context.

Simply e-learning makes student learn by doing, failing and redoing an assignment. There are some beautiful sites which elaborates simple concepts of science and social science that makes student learn it FAST AND CORRECT.

I think e-learning is not a substitute of classroom education. This is a modern education system that provide education place for working or busy candidates. So most of the busy candidate get higher education from e learning centers & universities like IPS Meerut.

Both have their own importance classroom learning gives us our whole development as social interaction, character, behavior, emotional intelligence and most important knowledge of text books. On the other hand e learning have not such type of options but it gives us source of information in detail in our desired way.

In my opinion both have their own importance but the classroom learning is better for the candidates who are free to learn means they have time to go the classroom because in classroom we learn so many things like how to interact and learn a lots of things from our teacher or guide.

One can go for e-learning when the any information is required in quickly manner. And e-learning has its importance to the candidate who are busy in some other thing and they want learns something in their workplace. So both the learning way has their importance depends on the requirement.

Learning is a continuous process. Class room learning is must for beginners, say till graduation at least. For those who cannot afford classroom learning e learning is a good substitute.

However, when application of knowledge comes in your personal, professional, employed or business life, the technology support derived from e learning is amazing. Definitely we can use the net for our advantage to supplement, books, advices or opinion of seniors and peers and consultants in the chosen field. Therefore e learning is complementary to classroom learning.

E- learning and classroom study are two different things but both have their own advantages, if classroom have very good environment then we can learn more and more from the faculty and can discuss with member of classroom which is very beneficial to learn but if the faculty is not well in clearing the doubt of students then it is not good.

E-learning is very beneficial for those who want to study but they are busy in life and work as a employer in any firm it is less time consuming for that. But in E-learning we don't have an environment for discus with friend and asking doubt if any.

Classroom learning is always the best upto graduation, so that one can learn how to interact, communicate with others, also one can learn social skills. E-learning is also the good thing for those who are interested to learn individually and who want to continue their studies in parallel with their employment.

Hi friend good evening:

My opinion in favour of e- learning is the best things by which any one can teach or learn through the sites at any places or at any where. By the e-learning if any one miss the class they can attend the class on-line by which they can learn. Whatever theoretical language is hard than the visualization teaching. Any reasons most of the student not want goes to the schools or colleges on that time they learn by the online and they can continue without disturb classes for previous topics. Now a days most of the institutes as: IIT's IIM's uploaded his video lecture classes on the personal sites by which we can download and teach us, on other private institutes.

By e-learning they can collect or submit the slides i.e. related to the topics most of the friends can share the data or video lecturers by mail that's why it is perfect for newcomers.
