Face To Face Learning vs. Online Learning
Face To Face Learning vs. Online Learning
This is where the teacher and the student meet in a set place for a set time, for either
one-on-one learning or, most commonly, in group class lessons similar to what happens
in school.
Face to face learning is a really effective way to learn knowledge and skills because it
often combines different ways of learning including writing, reading, discussion,
presentations, projects, group work, film clips, demonstration and practice.
The Advantages of Face to Face Learning in the Classroom
You'll be able to concentrate harder on your learning because there’ll be less
distraction than if you were at home.
You can gain greater understanding, stories and real-world examples from
teachers and other students
You have a greater chance of completing your course successfully by doing it in
a classroom situation. (Completion rate of teacher-led classes is almost 5x higher than
that of on line learning)
You may feel more comfortable and learn more easily in a familiar, traditional
classroom situation.
You can access more information and richer understanding through teacher and
other students’ body language and voice.
You have the opportunity to connect with, problem-solve, and network with other
students from a wide range of backgrounds.
Online Learning
An online learning course is one you take online using a computer, without being with a
teacher or other students in a classroom. You have greater flexibility and can study from
home.. Most courses don’t need you to be online at a certain time of day or night, but
you must actively participate in the course during the course time frame.
