According to me, as everything in the world has two phases, in the same way, digital and traditional education has two phases.

In favour to digital study:

1. One can study any where at any time.
2. We can have updated information very soon comparing to offline.
3. It is a own learning process.
4. Do course at University level without going there.

In favour to traditional education:

1. We can increase presentation skills by class.
2. We can know how to behave with colleagues and superiors.

Conclusion:.

I would like to conclude that digital education cannot be a substitute for classroom learning up to graduation level. If a person has more interest on the online education they can do well but if they have no interest a person must be there to create interest in him by general example and to make them study, that is possible only with the classroom.

No, till date, the digital educational system hasn't taken over the traditional education system.

Traditional education system not only imparts knowledge to the students but also values, morals, personality development, soft skills etc, which are a major missing in online mode. Ergonomics of Classroom teaching is such as to facilitate proper sitting posture, visualisation, interactive study, doubt solving and mental relaxation which is a major drawback in digital mode of education.

That doesn't mean I am completely against the online mode. It plays a significant role in enhancing the skills as it doesn't limit the availability of teachers, courses, and have no constraints on their age. Students are even free to study according to their convenient time.

To conclude, I would say the current Digitalised education system is incapable of replacing the traditional method but no doubt it can be a great blessing to enhance their skills.

I would rather suggest a semi Digitalised offline education system incorporating the benefit of both the education system.

Thank you.

I want to add one more point. Nowadays the education system has become costlier. Many middle-class families cannot afford for it. Since, digital Education came into picture students can learn and improve their knowledge.

I feel that both types of education systems have their own pros and cons.

Traditional education is somewhat better in the sense that it inculcates a feeling of healthy competition amongst the students, they can instantly get their doubts cleared, also it not only teaches the textbook knowledge but also gives a platform to students for learning other aspects of life while cooperating with fellow students. This aspect is missing in digital education.

Moreover, in traditional education, the grasping is always better than that from the digital one as it leads to active learning.

While digital education also has benefits. For instance, it penetrates more into the remote areas easily, one can easily access almost anything sitting in their beds for almost free of cost, many alternatives for one single topic so one can choose the best out of them and many more.

But for the younger kids, digital education should not be preferred as they will become lazy and eventually get saturated with studies.

So, we can say that both types run parallel to each other, benefitting different people differently.

Thanks.

I think during this lockdown so many teachers and student face problem in learning. Parents were worried about their child for not getting education due to COVID-19.

This digital platform for learning from home is good you can study wherever you want to do and it is good for teachers too. They can also teach students from their home.

But I think there are so many students who are not in full concn. While virtual learning.

While learning virtually there are so many notification going on in phone so it might disturb students. So many students suffering from headache, eye problems through light rays emerging from phone.

Specially, in rural areas student can't afford the smartphones, laptops for learning. Network problems are also there. So it is not good for their educational life.

And on the other hand, through traditional efucation students get their proper environment of stufies. They can ask their doubt to teachers and it is good for the students who are in rural areas.

So, Traditional education has taken over digital education cause it made so many lives better.

Can we compare landline phones to today's smartphones?

The technology used in both the devices must surely be different but the work is the same, to make a call. It's an advantage of smartphones that nowadays we can do almost everything on our figure tips.

Same like that as time passes, we have to adapt to the changes around us. We have been friendly with technology in today's world of AI.

This also holds true for Traditional education. We have to be digital because time and technology are growing rapidly so we also have to be smarter than these Machines.

Yes, it is also true that we can't completely depend on digital sources for education. Like people to people understanding, students and teachers attachment, level of satisfaction in traditional education, extracurricular activities, attachment with the peers.

Etc. These are the things that we can't archive digitally. But for these, we can work with technology to improve it in the future.

Think about adult education via the traditional system. Most people feel shy to talk about it but in the digital system they can present their doubts & views more efficiently.

It's also true that preferring digital education over traditional education can widen some gaps between our societies but it can be eradicated through providing quality education in government schools. The most important concern about digital education is that students feel seclusion in it. This can lead him to an increase in the level of anxiety, stress, depression, and lack of temperament. Eyeglasses from the very beginning to kids is Common today. So we have to develop a holistic approach to tackle these problems.

So, all in all, it depends upon person to person what is their mentality. Some students & teachers feel comfortable with the traditional & some are with digital. We can't ignore completely each one of them. Like our mixed culture.

The society we have to come up with a mixture approach for the advancement of education.

Hello friends.

Yes, I agree with a topic that digital education really overtaken traditional education. When we look at digital education we can access any corner of the world with the help of Internet access. Digital education act as the other teacher & guider who use this in the right way. When we look at another side of a coin is traditional education, it is very expensive, time taking. It Totally depends on physical exitance and also it should be followed as a daily transaction.

Good evening.

I think at some point of time we don't have to accept the new advance technology because our conventional and traditional things are far better then new technology. And education is one of that thing. In the past the Indian people are learn in seating the garden and in under the appropriate Guru or teacher. In that along with syllabus of subject the student able to know the discipline, punctuality and self confidence and many more small things like this. Which is essential for educated person in this things are can't be learn from digital education and also the digital education is a time flexible but in the traditional education the student can get the perfect visualization and perception and which is required for better knowledge. And also the labs and practiCal can't be online once you see the practical then you have to performed at least one time to get to know what is actually happened and what is not. And this practicals and the lab sessions are the small scale of our future work which we will doing in our jobs. So the good practical knowledge can be obtain by traditional education compare to digital education. At last, I want to say that at some thing the India has not to forget our conventional and traditional things. We have to stick the some conventional things of India which is required for better future of India. Thank you.

In this whole pandemic situation, digital education has been a boon on education but in our education system we don't only focus on education but more of values. In our Indian education system they not only taught us knowledge but discipline, punctuality, etc. In digital education, there is a lack of teacher and student interaction which makes the student much more introvert. The students are lacking creativity too. We all know how online exams are going on right now, every student just googles their question and not study which is practical of no use.

Thank you.

In my point of view, there is always two shades of everything some good and some bad. As far the technology is concerned then I think digital Education is good cause it enhances the skill and it will provide the best content in the market.

There are many professionals and well-trained trainer or lecturer who shares their experience using the online platform. Where students don't have to hesitate to ask any questions. One of the best things I personally think is best is if we fail in something we don't have feel shame cause no-one gonna show your result to anyone or no-one gonna clinch the result on Notice Board to show all. We can easily access all the content at any time and anywhere.

We can pause or play the content whenever we want and how many time we want whereas in traditional there is time duration of the class and many are not feel free to ask in-crowd.

That's why I personally like Digital Education than Traditional Education.

Thank you.
