In my point of view e-learning cannot be a substitute for class learning. Students should do their studies by going to school or college. It's the right place for them to develop their knowledge and improve their character as well. It also helps them to know about the people living in the society and create awareness about different matters. It also helps to create relationships and many unforgettable sweet memories for their lives.

Hai friends. In my point of view, the classroom teaching is the best way of teaching when compared to the extent learning. Because a can explain the subject in the manner of understanding of the lower class students also and he observes that all the students are able to understand or not then he changes the method of explanation. Then all are will gain good subject. And the teacher can explain in a useful manner to all stages of minds which are present in the classroom. That's why I am supporting the classroom teaching and my suggestion is that the e-learning with the presence of teacher's explanation is the best way to learn.

Thank you friends.

Classroom teaching is far better than e-learning. In a classroom teaching. A student can be judged by the teacher individually and the weakest one also can be taken utmost care but in e-learning. It's not there.

Apart of this, In the classroom, a doubt can be clear at the same time which will pave the way for a good starting. But in e-learning. It's not there. One has to wait for the ending.

E-learning can be a assistance for the classroom teaching but it's not the replacement of it. So classroom teaching has the vast effect.

E-learning played a vital role during the pandemic. Which laid a way for many persons to upskill in their careers and for student's education.

The bitter side of this platform is that nowadays internet become a necessity of our daily life, and many students of young age get addicted to this and misuse it. On the other hand students from a poor and rural background who don't have proper connectivity and whose family doesn't have the stability to buy such gadgets did not benefit from this and their academics got spoiled.

Hello friends, There is no doubt that classroom teaching is definitely a better way of education but it also depends on the different contexts. For example, For a country like India which is still struggling to produce good teachers and academicians despite its tremendous population, the e-learning platforms are solutions to it and it is only because NPTEL came into picture which has been a huge success although. It provides access to good teachers and great learning stuff to the remotest part of the country which is just a click away from the learner.

Classroom learning is the best way of learning because there some students have more capable to study some students does not have such capability to gain much knowledge so if they guide to teach means they will definitely feel better. But e-learning makes to feel lazy, and cannot able to get a relationship to communicate a teacher.

Hi, today education system has totally changed. E-learning is a better way to learn quickly and easily. Students do not need to go to coaching classes for learning everything. For example students join coaching to speak English fluently and also for vocabulary but now these studies are provided in less time by e-learning. It also makes students independent and quick learners. However the environment that a class room study goes missing in e-learning. So, for overall development of students both are necessary.

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

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.

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.
