Online Learning vs Classroom Learning – What is Better for You?

Classroom learning involves face to face interaction among students, instructors and colleagues. Students in classroom learning, actively participate in asking questions and getting their queries resolved. It provides the dynamic learning experience. Dialogues among individuals lead to flow of conversations and provide opportunity to share their experiences. 

On the other hand, in e-learning this kind of interaction is not there but it is possible through emails, chats, forums and webinars. In e-Learning, students study in confinement and need to be self-motivated. An online course provides lessons, and the student learns terms, acronyms, definitions, and the methodological side of some tools.

What goes missing, is any practical experience such as activities or illustrations, which are evaluated and practiced real-time. When it comes to attending the courses on the internet, you will not be in a discussion environment. It is likely that you will not often have any interaction with peers. Therefore, if you have a query, it is more of self learning, you will need to go back and find the solution on yourself, or ask a trainer via email or chat.
