Online education has grown significantly over the past few years. That’s because our current situation is pandemic and we have no other option but to go online. It has other advantages too. It is cheaper and flexible study plans compared to the traditional education system. However, we cannot completely discredit traditional education.
Attending a physical class not only allows students to have a one-on-one experience with the teacher but also exposes them to practical skills that can be beneficial to their future career. The main difference between traditional education from online education apart from the activities which can help develop personality and manners, is the environment where one can meet with his colleagues in real life, socialise and interact with them. The classroom provides a healthy environment for classmates, motivates towards direct discussions/interactions and competitions which motivates students indirectly to study more and the approachable teachers who can clear any question or doubt.
In online education you are limited to discussion with your classmates regarding subjects.
But online education’s main advantage is the one-on-one experience which provides you with personal attention of the teacher which has a good effect on students understandings, and prevents them from day dreaming because of the individual attention while the traditional education lacks that because of the attention being divided on the students in the classroom. But the main advantage of online education in current scenario is that keeping the children safe in the current covid situation.
