Compare And Contrast Online Classroom Vs Traditional Classroom

Students learn through an online portal. A known example of such portal is Wawasan Learn. Wawasan Learn is an open university’s portal or also known as Learning Management System (LMS) that is supported by Moodle. Everyone would be aware by now that online learning is very convenient as it is a very flexible learning method. One do not have to travel long distance to learn when they can just use their electronic device such as computer, laptop, ipad, tablets and etc with internet access to learn from their online lesson. Those who are working full time or have children to take care favor this kind of learning method. Not forgetting those gifted or special people that are unable to attend the classes as an ordinary student. Online learning helps the student to enhance their knowledge very clearly and easily with efficient information. It is money saving as well because the students save so much of their transportation cost, textbook cost and many

There are no facts supporting the statement that “you cannot learn as much online as in a classroom”. Everyone has their own needs for learning some people do better online in the privacy of their home where there are not any distractions, and some people need have face to face interaction in order to learn. Some people who are in online classes may learn more than those who are in a classroom. No matter what you choose the learning part is up to you and how committed you are to furthering your education.

With time it becomes the necessity of our lives because much of our work depends on it. By using internet we can easily to different educative resources and get wide knowledge about our courses, Internet provides us updates about the news or information. It provides us opportunity to learn new things by taking online courses. It is more effective than offline courses due to many reasons such as online learning has a flexible pattern, we can access to more learning resources. Moreover we have access to online courses any time and anywhere where we feel comfortable this increase our focus and it is also cost effective or free of cost effective education while taking offline courses do not provides us these benefits therefore we relay on the online courses. It provides us a better and free of cost communication channel due to which we can take help from others about any issue faced in learning

One example of how online schools can improve student learning was shown in a study by the SRI international department of education. The researcher Steve Lohr conducted a study on mostly college students from the years 1996 to 2008. The researcher performed a quantitative analysis of online versus classroom performance for the same courses. The results for students taking online courses showed that they ranked in the 59th percentile compared to students who took the same courses in traditional schools ranked in the 50th percentile. These results showed that there was a 9 percent difference in the tested performance of college students which indicated that students learn more effectively in online schools versus traditional schools. This example supports the claim that online schools enhance student learning more effectively than traditional schools. In addition to online schools enhancing student learning it is also beneficial for students in rural areas and for introverted students. Students in rural areas may not be able to afford or have access to transportation which can result in them not being able to attend a traditional school. However if online schools were available each student would have access to education with the click of a button. Also, introverted students can benefit from online schools because they will

This is something major to consider when selecting the type of class the student will be taking. If a student works and/or has a family they might find it hard to go to school and sit in a classroom once or twice a week. On the other hand a recent high school graduate probably could go to school multiple days a week like they did in high school and it would not ever be an issue. Students that have other responsibilities would benefit from online classrooms. The beauty of online classes is you work at your own pace. Yes there are due dates when work is due but you are not tied down to a desk for the duration of a class. You can stop and start a lecture or save your work and complete it later on. In a regular class you have to be there a certain day a week for a certain amount of hours to the entire semester, if life gets in the way you have to miss class. Some things can not be made up at a later date and this could affect your GPA. Some students are shyer than other students and like that they can work in the comfort of their own home and not have to go to a brick and mortar class. Being afraid of fellow students responses online discussion boards would make it easier to give and receive feedback. They might have never done this in a traditional setting. However, other students like having the immediate

There are others, like myself, who feel that online learning is better. The supporters of this back their claim by stating that online classes can be more beneficial for teachers and students. For example, fewer distractions in a classroom like other students disrupting class. Students can come into class late after the teacher has already started class and cause a disruption or talk during the class. With online classes the student can control their environment. Also, a teacher can provide in writing just the basic information a student needs for an assignment. This way there is less of a chance for the student to get confused on the assignment when the topic

With advancements in technology, some students have chosen to complete their schoolwork through the Internet, rather than in traditional classrooms. Those who support a traditional classroom approach to learning argue that it provides more of an opportunity for students to interact with the teacher and other students. Those who feel that learning over the Internet is better argue that it allows students to learn anytime and anywhere they choose. Do you feel education is better provided in traditional classrooms or when offered over the Internet? Write an essay to be read by a classroom teacher in which you persuade the reader that either traditional classroom education or Internet-based learning is better. With advancements in technology,

Berler brings up the topic of and out of state freshman who began her college career at a major research university. “The online environment didn’t suit the student”(Berler). According to the student pre-cal was to difficult for her she switched to and introductory class instead. She felt the online class wasn’t helping her understand the concept she needed more lecture step by step teaching. Online classes can teach you step by step but to stay focus is the problem the term tedious is a big one involved. Now by being in a class you may feel more active because there is stuff going on around you and you have the chance on meeting more people

Social interactions also differ between the two types of education. On a campus, students attend a class, with instructors and classmates. This fosters more collaboration on projects. Many times students are not required to actively participate in class room discussions. In the online setting students are required to participate in the discussions, even though he or she does not see classmates face to face. Students can learn from your fellow class mates as well as the instructor and materials. Generally the students that perform best doing online classes are those who are able to work and learn independently.

With high speed internet available to potential students of all economic levels, schools are opting to implement online classes into their traditional teaching curriculum. As a result, our society is divided in two different ways of thinking on the education. Some believe the modern method is better than the traditional method of teaching. Personally, I believe both methods should balance one another instead of attempting to substitute one another; this way their purpose of educating will be far more successful.

 The traditional classroom has advantages . They have a personality each to its own that can be expressed from faculty and student alike . That shows the personal side to education . Their is someone to set the rules and guidelines to follow ,there is someone to look up to ,there are others to interact with face to face with for seeing the reaction to that interaction.

In today’s world education is one of the most vital elements in everyone’s life. Everywhere we go for job they look for the academic qualification and then look after other requirements. Before we were limited to traditional style of learning inside classroom with regular interaction with the teacher but now slowly with time the popularity of online class is increasing at very high rate. Many students would prefer online classes there days rather than classes conducted inside the classroom because many consider online class easier as they are free to access the answers during the test because there is no one to look after you. I am against online classes because of cost, requires more technology, very less social interaction and extra self-direction.

b) Learning online is different because there is no direct physical contact with either fellow students or teachers. This could prove a challenge for those who lack motivation to regularly attend to readings and activities. Even setting aside the time to read the materials required and complete assignments is not the most effective or engaging learning technique as is discussed in the

Education has undergone significant changes because of the development of information and communication technology over the 21st century (Lin & Jou, 2012:2). As a convenient and inexpensive way to gain knowledge while pursuing higher education, online learning, a form of training or teaching that takes place over the Internet, has been considered as an alternative to traditional classroom learning (Zhang et al, 2004). This essay will argue that even though online learning has benefit such as flexibility which could outweigh traditional learning, traditional classroom learning might still not be entirely replaced. This essay will discuss positive and negative aspects of online and traditional learning in terms of four criteria:

With the developing of technology, internet gradually becomes an important element in many areas. The high efficiency and convenient of internet benefits many individuals and groups. Internet also involves higher education in many different ways, and online courses is one of them. When the online courses appear, people begin to compare them with traditional classes which are taught in visual classroom. As a result, two groups of people with different idea on online courses will against each other. However, I do not think there is a specific result to say which one is better for higher education. Data table shows that the gap of online courses and traditional courses is only 2.94(Daymont & Blau, 2008, May). The data shows that these two kinds of education will lead to similar result, and both of them have unique advantages and disadvantages. Internet is just a tool which can helps students succeed. This tool may be only fit for groups of people and some of classes, but it will improve the higher education as a whole when it combine with traditional teaching method. Just like eating, each person may choose different tableware for each dish. Usually, people will use more than one tableware for one meal, because each tableware has unique function, and the combination of them will lead to a most effective result. Same with the courses in higher education, the combination of online courses and traditional visual classroom will lead to the most effective and efficiency way to
