According to me, classroom learning is best. Classroom learning creates a different environment of learning. Maintains a great bond between teachers and students where you can clear your doubts on the spot and can learn more through other students, their doubts, their thinking way etc. In classroom learning, you can learn communication skills, teamwork etc which will help you in future when you will work in the corporate world. Classroom learning makes you active to be part of different activities whereas e-learning makes you lazy.

Even in rural areas or poor children can't afford mobiles and laptops. So e-learning is difficult in that case also.

So, according to me, classroom learning is the best way of learning.

Good Evening Friends,

According to me, E-learning is good substitution for classroom learning. Because classroom learning is making good friends and teachers. Classroom is good environment for learning. But e-learning is saving timing for going to school and also helpful for time consuming for next training. So it is helpful. E-learning can learn anytime anywhere.

Thank You.

Hi everyone,

With respect to all your points, I am adding my opinion, that e-learning system introduced in schools and colleges has both advantage and disadvantage.

It has lot many advantages like;

1. In past years students are dependent on blackboard studies and note dictation. In which the teacher makes them understand through the diagram and the limited theories in the book.

2. But all children are not studious, some may understand from the book whereas some may be there with blank ideas that what is happening in the class, so for them the e-learning system is very helpful.

3. Nowadays every book has a DVD attached at the back side of every book, with a lot of videos and task present in that.

4. Suppose in a class there are 60 students and in schools and colleges in between every subject is taught for 45 mins and in that interval, it is not possible for the teacher to have focused on each individual student, but through this system, this problem is also minimized.

5. Everything can be made understand with a practical example but the subject "BIOLOGY" is one subject in which some chapters cannot be explained properly but the same thing e-learning system can do it in a better way. And I have seen students have more doubts in this subject and especially in some selected chapters like "REPRODUCTION" but clearing doubts is more difficult for a teacher and it might hurt the sentiments of others.

6. Nowadays every student dream of going to an English medium school, but some can afford whereas some cannot, for them also apps like Byju's is more helpful.

An intelligent student can do a sum of math in few minutes whereas average student lags behind because of the basics. While teaching teachers directly go to the theory and q/ans part and live the basics but in these systems they get their basics clear throughout their life.

Some of the disadvantages are as follows:

1. As in previous advantage, I was discussing the chapter of "REPRODUCTION", we know in that particular chapter there are such terms which cannot be explained inside the classroom but children stick to that terms as their doubts are not cleared, and in institution also no one clear their doubts.

2. At the next they surf the internet for such terms and sometimes go to the negative side of it, which they should not see at that age they surfing that only, which harms their studies and their mind. Because while surfing there are more adds coming at side in which children give the interest to know what is that.

So, coming to an end I would say that the e-learning system introduced in schools and colleges are the best thing children ever had.

Thank You.

Hi friends,

E-Learning cannot replace classroom learning. It is something like that innovation in learning. E-Learning has so many advantages- Education is everywhere, Remotely accessible, Learning makes easy, Learning in your own way, No need of the tutor, Get a wide range of knowledge about a specific topic to name a few. On the other hand, Classroom Learning helps in so many ways- Easy to ask the doubts, an Instant solution of the doubts, Promotes collaborative learning, Enhance critical thinking skills, Improved social skills, Build organizational skills etc.

E-learning is good up to a certain extent.

It can't replace classroom studies but can help it to become more effective. In e-learning, our course is completed within the given time. Which sometimes not possible in the classroom.

E-learning can be an additional along with the classroom teaching. It should never replace with the classroom teaching. This can be used for value-added courses learning. There should be credit transfer for the courses undertaken through E-learning (MOOCS) for college students.

This is the 21st century.

We have so much advantages- what we don't understand in our class, we can easily get information on that topic from videos or texts. Often, online videos are like invisible or virtual teachers who give us information on various topics in a rather lucid manner. We can gain a great deal of extra information and knowledge on a topic than we get from our textbooks. Most households in this generation own a PC. So, people instead of wasting time on games, can use their facilities for gaining knowledge through e-learning.

In my opinion, any well-developed technology cannot take the place of a teacher in a student's life. From childhood, it's our teachers who took care of us gave us basic knowledge, work hard with us. If in case smart board would have taught us that time we would have started calling your friend namely "Ajay" as "AJ" as per their pronunciation. It's good to have developments in education, learning methods and one must take full advantage of it but without forgetting our teachers. I know sometimes it is hard to understand what the teacher is teaching but on the hand, it is the teacher who keeps on motivating you to do well for your future.
