ONLINE EDUCATION
Education, now-a-days, has became a
necessary part of life. Every person
requires proper education in order for a
bright future. Education enables us to be
self dependent and unlocks our potential
so that we could be a part of the
educated and developed society.
Education system has seen a great trend
in it. There are various ways for
educating oneself.. Each way has its own
advantages and drawbacks.
This presentation is to describe the ways
of education, compare and discuss their
advantages and disadvantages, and to
conclude with the best one.

 MODERNIZATION
Our world is being modernized day-by-day. Every field of life
is trending from a traditional to digital way. We have online
banking, online shopping, online communication, online
news and affairs, online business, online entertainment and
so on. This has reduced the burden on our shoulders and
brain, and made our life much fast, which gives us more
time for leisure activities.
 TRENDS IN EDUCATION
Since the earliest times, education has
been one of the most important
aspects of life. Earlier education
was nothing but passing of general
knowledge orally generation-to-
generation. Then came a new
system of schools, in which a
person, who has more knowledge
then most of the others on all or a
particular topic, taught the children
of their area. This lead to invention
of school.
Soon schools started using written
text, like scrolls, to aid the students in
learning. This lead to the invention of
book.
As time passed on, schools became
bigger and started using
infrastructure, modernized ways of
teaching etc.
Now education has a completely new
phase. Modernization has made
education much faster, easier and
accessible everywhere.
REGULAR EDUCATION
 ABOUT REGULAR EDUCATION
Regular education refers to learning at school where there are books, to
introduce new topics, stories and to give reference, and a teacher, to
explain all the subjects in detail and solve our problems. The books
contain detailed information about the topics that we need or desire to
know. A teacher is a trained and well-educated person who explains us
all those topics in a way that could be understood easily. She also helps
us in clearing any doubts.
 SYSTEM OF REGULAR EDUCATION
Regular education follow a system that involves reading the books,
which provide a detailed information of the topic, getting a detailed
explanation by teachers, solving the problems, if we have any, and
performing practical tests and experiments, if necessary. Finally, a
written test is taken to ensure that the topics have been cleared. If a
student passes the test, then it means that the student is ready to
learn another topic, otherwise he has to study that topic again.
 ADVANTAGES
 The books provide an interesting way of
explaining the topics through
stories, illustrations etc.
 The teachers know us, so they know that how
they need to teach effectively.
 Teachers give us the major points and notes so
that we do not need to read the whole book
again and again.
 Schools provide us the environment we need to
concentrate on studies, and the infrastructure
and facilities necessary, like libraries, labs etc.
 Students are physically and mentally trained by
instructors.
REGULAR EDUCATION
DISADVANTAGES
 The education is mostly costly as schools have
became large, and number of books are
needed.
 Few students, who are very weak at
studying, are harsh-treated and are not always
understood.
 The rules of modern schools sometimes put
students into despair and tension.
 Students need to carry heavy bags, which put
stress on their body.
 There can be geographical and/or time barriers.
 Mobility of education is absent.
 Students are unable to develop technological
skills.
ONLINE EDUCATION
 ABOUT ONLINE EDUCATION
Online education (or E-learning) refers to the use of electronic media and
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education. It uses all
forms of education technology like digital notes, e-books, teaching slides, video
conferencing, online tests and quiz etc. Digital notes are documents containing
important points for the topic. E-books have detailed information about the
topic, just like books. Teaching slides are videos that explain the topic
effectively, like teachers. Video conferencing can be used to talk to an expert to
resolve any problem. Online tests and quizzes enhance our knowledge further.
 NECESSITIES FOR ONLINE EDUCATION
Since online education is totally dependent on electronic media, a
computer/laptop with an internet connection is the most basic need. A
Smartphone can be used as a portable access to the study plan, if it is
stored on internet. A speaker, microphone, printer and a digicam are
also required for best results.
Another important thing is a website that provides the facility of virtual
classroom and study material, and there are many such websites which
provide these things at a cost.
 ADVANTAGES
 Students have improved open access to
education, including access to full degree
programs.
 Data is renewed regularly so that students have
access to latest data.
 There are no geographical or time barriers.
 Technological skills are improved automatically
while studying.
 Improved interaction is present between the
student and instructor.
 No harsh rules are present. Students are
independent to choose their difficulty level and
methods.
ONLINE EDUCATION
DISADVANTAGES
 Ease of cheating.
 Children with less resources lack proper
education.
 Equipment is mostly costly.
 Discipline is absent.
 There is a lack of social interaction between
instructor and student.
 Students are unable to be trained with
physical and mental skills.
 Asynchronic communication hinders fast
exchange of information and/or questions
between instructor and student.
 Danger of procrastination is always present.

the student.
 The data provided is generally out-dated.
 There is a social interaction between instructor
and the student.
 Cheating is not very easy.
 Student cannot choose his/her own difficulty
level.
COMPARISON
ONLINE SYSTEM

 E-books are used for studying.
 Important notes and homework are written on a
computer.
 Online tests and quizzes are given.
 Experts are present for explaining and clearing
doubts.
 There is no such environment.
 No such stress is present as only lightweight
equipments are needed.
 The data provided is updated regularly.
 A social interaction between instructor and
student is absent.
 Cheating is easy.
 Student is independent to choose difficulty level
of his/her choice.
BLENDED SYSTEM
 ABOUT BLENDED SYSTEM
Regular and online education have their own limitations. Therefore, most of the
modernized schools blend the two systems into one, which is why the system is
known as ‘Blended’ system. The main reason to blend these systems was to
combine their advantages and remove the disadvantages.
In this system, there are books, notebooks and teachers as well as e-
books, teaching slides and online quizzes and tests. Student needs to buy just a
few books. At schools, they are taught through books, e-books and digital slides.
Each student has a registered email id on which he receives e-notes and
homework. The homework is to be done and sent to the teacher through email.
 LIMITATION OF BLENDED SYSTEM
Although blended system of education is a great way to educate a child
properly, it has became very costly, as the schools providing blended
education have to offer a large number of facilities to the students, like
computers for each student, a large and highly secure network etc.
Students also need computer at home, an internet connection etc. This
has made a good education system inaccessible to people belonging to
lower economic sections, and are thus unable to educate themselves
efficiently.
 CONCLUSION
Therefore, we come to a conclusion that no method of providing education is perfect
for the students. Each method has some limitations of its own. Even the blended
system has a problem of cost. If economically-backward sections of the society
want to educate their child through the blended system, it will be highly costly for
them. They can come under a huge debt. So regular education is preferred for
them. Blended system is preferred by the economically rich people.
Somebody has said the truth – “Nothing is Perfect!”
