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.

All dear friends.

As we know that today India is a modern and developing country. Same examples and resources are responsible for this. E-learning is one of them. E-learning is a resource where we teach or read through internet and computer and mobile phone. There are the same merits and demerits also.

You can learn on the go. Even if you are employed and want to learn your knowledge and skills, e-learning is the best option.

We can repeat the lesson many times if ee didn't understand the concepts.
We can easily update new information.
We can do the course in the university of foreign countries without going there.

There are the same facts.

E-learning also effets on our eyes. So its nod good for our eyes.
Through classroom learning, we can clearify our doubts immediately.
Through classroom, we can increase our presantation skills.

We can know how to behave with colleagves and superious.

Teachers in classroom can know wether students understand the topic or not, and explain the topic clearly using genral examples.

Conclusion:
E-learning is an ever growing industry and is bound to change the education system in a few years however, it is important to draw the line where required to keep it from distracting.

As a student, I have the opinion that e-learning cannot be compared to the classroom learning. We cannot take computer as our teacher while learning. Teachers give many extra knowledge while learning and this will improve our general knowledge. But this won't be there in e-learning. In our school, we have e-learning but we find nothing useful in it. We find it as the same copy of our textbooks.

Hi friends,

Yes, I think both are having same positive and negative abilities. Coming to e-Learning it is the best way to save our time. And we got so much information. But, classroom learning I think it is a practical knowledge because someone was explained what they knew. So many people said school days were very good. Because they were enjoyed their studies with friends. Those are most memorable moments in our life. But according to education point of view we can save our time or we can give so much information about that topic. But, some are very interested to explaining from others, according to that they were easily understanding the situation.

In my opinion everything has good or bad perspective. So whatever we choose we should followed that in a good manner.

Thank you.

In my opinion, classroom learning is the better way because it helps to improve our communication skills and knowledge. In e-learning can't develop this type of skills.

In our student life manners, discipline and etiquette are important as much as study that e-learning can't teach us. By the way we are social people, class room study make us social, teacher teach us how to act socially.

I am not deny e-learning is good, we can take help of it for better understanding but it can't substitute classroom but you can give full time after passing the higher secondary.

I would like say class room learning is important. It is very nice. Eg. if have any doubt, that time you will directly approach your faculty its better than e learning. We consulting the faculty many different ideas will get from them.

E learning is just to use take some notes. Otherwise e learning must not improve our knowledge.

Strictly speaking, E-learning is not for lazy persons. One who really want to achieve something in their busy schedule, for them it's good. E-learning is good when you are doing courses like designing. But in the case of preparation for any exam, e-learning is not beneficial.

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.
