Online Learning vs. Traditional Learning

Online and classroom learning can be both beneficial to students in a positive way. They are not that different as far as what you would learn. You would learn the same material, it is just that online, you would be at home, and traditional you would sit in a classroom. It is flexible to go to school online, compared to sitting in a classroom at a specific time of day, every day. You would also learn to communicate very well with your fellow students and professors. The result, going to school online would be very beneficial for someone who is looking for flexibility, a good education, and would like to learn how to communicate well with their fellow students and professors. While classroom learning offers a lot of interaction with everybody including teachers and co-students as well online learning can be stagnant and boring to others who seek greater learning because of the environment. It has been said that there has been a debate in recent years if online-schooling is better than being in a classroom setting. Both can have their advantages and disadvantages. As I now take college courses online I have found it more convenient to do classes online in my situation, because I have a 3 year old daughter and I am looking for a job. It can be hard at times though, because there is no teacher that I can ask a question to and get a helpful response right away. So that is an advantage of being in an actual classroom. For some online college courses, it can be easy to complete your homework any time during the day, and still meet the deadlines. Which allows for flexibility, and a traditional class would not allow for this to happen. By going to school online, you do not need to go to classes every day, but instead you can access your homework from the school’s website. This would be a benefit to the overworked college student because there would be no commute.
