is on line education is better than class room education?

Answer 1

on line education is very important if you know what to choose for learning and if not than your choice is class room education.

Answer 2

Not generally.

My gf is currently finishing her program which was done partially online and partially in classroom and her online experience has been anything but a good one, while her classroom experience has been for the most part excellent.

I really think it depends on the program/course, the institution, and the prof. I know some universities/colleges that offer online courses that are at par with their in-class courses (e.g. Concordia in Nova Scotia online program really shines), however, I think at this time most courses are still better done at a brick&mortar school if one can afford the additional costs (both financial and time required)...

Lastly, with online courses you have to be really disciplined to get the work done. While some people can keep a schedule and finish as quick (or even quicker) than taking the same course with a prof's schedule, I think most will take longer if they finish at all... This aspect really depends on both the way the course is set up (some online courses have due dates similar to their B&M counterparts while others just have a end date that everything must be completed by) AND of course the student and their drive to complete...

Answer 3

They both have there place.

I did one of my degrees with the Open University. This used a mix of recorded, written and class room teaching. I was also very involved with the development of on-line teaching methods and equipment.

This could be used for GCSE and above, also specialist areas. I studied, as part of my degree the philosophy of psychology. The tutor had to come miles to teach me. Sometimes he could not make it. On line he would have had no difficulties.

I taught psychology in two school at the same time and also guessing at a college. Again I feel that online would have been better.

However Face to Face teaching has no equal and must remain at the core of all learning.

Answer 4

I personally think so but it really depends on the person takeing the online ed. I have trouble keeping on my work and making sure I do it everyday but at the same time I am doing more and focusing more, and even learning more because I don't have as many distractions. See- in my case the pros outweigh the cons though it may not in most cases. You also have to consider that your social life may become very limited afterwards. Lastly if you were like me and are considering leaving public school for online ed I strongly urge you to consider the following: think about why you want into online school, why or how you think it could help you. See if the pros outweigh the cons.
If you still decide to go for it I personally recommend Penn Foster. They are very helpful, acredited, supportive, and the material is wonderful.

Answer 5

No, No way. In online class u may not listern/read/ or do any thing else. There will be no one to ask u the surprise question which happens in calss room by which our knowledeg increase. And more over if in calss room if u dont understand then u may ask the teacher and they may explain u in the language u understand.

Answer 6

no i totally dont think so. i tried the online thing and it was awful. I would much rather sit in a classroom with my professor and learn. You learn alot better rather than posting your answer in a forum. You cant clearly explain yourself.

i would soo consider class room education.

Answer 8

My son takes classes online. It is hard. You really have to learn it own your own by doing a lot of reading and research. But you do not have to put up with going to classes everyday and have the extra expenses. So it depends how motivated you are.

Answer 9

No, having friends and interacting is an important part of education. People don't need to talk to machines all day.

Answer 10

I think it depends on how you study and how you learn. I am a wiz at english but I cannot do math for anything. I would learn more in a classroom for math and english is so easy I would take an online course for that.
