Hello readers in my view I will say e-class is useful for students because it help in learning for not only one student but many in number. And we can learn as many time as we want or of our choice. And many students can learn or understand perfectly. Because many students do not understand in first attempt or in one saying. Some needs two times some three times some five and some ten time also.
We don't have to wait for teacher for time as per her time management. It is better to learn e learning than to waste power or energy of teacher. There are many teachers who take fees in lakhs and do not give as per knowledge. But e-learning is cost less. And with the help of e-class learner can learn at any where as per his choice. And at last I would like to say that we should also develop as per our science. And then and then only we can do progress. Thanks for reading.

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.

Actually E-learning is a method of teaching in which the class is conducted with the help of Computers, Projector and Internet Technology. E-learning is good for students because if you are pursuing your Technical Degree with a not so good college then the E-learning is best option for for learning new Technologies as well as our Syllabus.
I am not saying that college teachers are not good but they are somehow failed to teach the students with only Book's Content, Sometimes they also even know that what they are teaching. If E-learning Scheme is adopted then the Professors of IIT's IIM's and Research Fellows will prepare the content, They actually know what is the subject they are to teach, They have practical knowledge of subject So the prepared slides etc. Will also contain their practical work on the subject and hence the Learning will be great by E-Learning.

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.

E-learning is where students don't have to carry books and copies and everything is done or learnt online with the help of internet. In classroom learning, the case is opposite. Both types of learning have their on merits and demerits. In case of classroom learning, students have to incur the cost of books and copies but E learning reduces that cost and students don't have to carry the weight of books. But e-learning methods bring huge expenditure on the part of institution which is ultimately born by students in the form of higher fees. Also, many students are still not comfortable with learning without books. They want to hold books physically in their hands. Also, continuous use of computers may lead to some eye problems as it puts strain on eyes. So, e-learning cannot be a substitute for classroom learning which is far more effective than e learning.

Dear Team,
Good Morning.
As per below discussion, we are talking about E-learning or Classroom learning.
As per my point of view E-learning is better than classroom, because of today's fast life style & due to shortage of time. 50 to 60 percent of youths are working or start to work. We don't have much time to attend the class or face the traffic. Everybody want promotion and newcomers want jobs. We are using computers, android Tabs etc, we are having world's information at the time, that is the advantage of E-learning.
Classroom learning is also very good, because that time the person go under the observation of teachers or professors & also a huge group of learning student. Classroom is a very good environment, As specific stage of age a person is not used to attend classes at that time he/she will start the study with e-learning.

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 don't think E-learning will substitute classroom learning.
-> Classroom learning does not provide us only knowledge but also helps us to develop our personality and leadership skills.
(We had already seen that in the classroom, every student was divided into some groups and this group was led by some of the students among us which help them to develop leadership skills and situation-handling skills. ).
-> classroom learning also help us to develop thinking skills. Suppose there is a doubt regarding any subject arises in a student's mind then if he will in online learning he has only the option to ask it with teacher who will give straight forward answer but if he will in the classroom he can ask it with different different students who will give its own opinion about this which helps in the development of thinking skills.

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.
