It is considered by some that distance learning has more positive impact on academic knowledge of subjects compared to classroom-based education. It seems to me that although online education can replace face-to-face learning, campus teachers can provide structured environment and social interactions.
On the one hand, many people prefer efficiency in their academic career such as firstly it is their studies from distance learning. Such education way helps many students to improve their technical skills including basic computer knowledge and ability of typing digitally. As a result, it will be useful experience from their young age that will be helpful knowledge in their future advancements. Another advantage is claimed by some that, one of the learning aspects is self-paced gaining information. In this way, learners can rewatch lesson videos, pause and review them as needed, also understand new insights by this method.
On the other hand, significance of structured environment is valued in classrooms of campus. These atmosphere of learning include light rooms, technology-related tools and patterns of each room which inspire students to study productively and help them to concentrate deeply on their academic work. Moreover, online learning has a positive influence on social interaction of each student. What can be understood from this role of socializing is making some friends and taking part in subject-related events. In contrast, without these opportunities on campus, students can not discuss any subjects in groups and share their ideas with their peers.
In conclusion, although two of the main advantages of online education has positive impact on understanding of computer and communication skills with society, I believe face-to-face learning are satisfying for students’ concentration and acquaintance of public.
