Online study or traditional classroom: Which is the most effective method to study?

You cannot identify which one is better because there are different types of students. But for me, it is better to have a traditional classroom type because you can ask your professor or instructor personally when you have questions. Also, it is also good that you interact with your classmates because you can also learn from them. But really, it depends on the students.

It is obvious that the traditional classroom method is effective for the following reasons:

• Learn discipline
• More concentration
• Competition among students
• Motivation
• Demonstration that holds the attention of students
• Development of expression
• Sensitization
• Work more cohesive team
• Group discussions
• Practical work
• Role play game
• Learning to react
• The love of the teacher for education
• Want to learn
• Instill confidence by the teacher
• Professional conscientiousness
• Behavior modification
• Good interaction between students
• Treatment of problem of distractions
• Good preparation for exams

Traditional classroom study has been effective so far and is most used throughout various institution however with today's technology based environment suggests online study is more sought and accepted format.

First of all thank you for invitation,

For me it is more likely that traditional class room would be more effective because real and face to face interaction with your instructer and classmates will enhance your abilities to get more knowledge as well as making strong relationships with your classmates.

On the other hand, online study would be effective for me for an exceptional situation such as :

*You don't have enough time to attend class.

*seeking knowledge from overseas recognized university or institute away from your home residence.

*Also these new techniques help experiences and idea exchange from wide people from different location and enhance communication (Virtual meetings)not only in academic discipline but also at management and organization era.

Both method are effective, but it will depends on the situation and personality of the person who will study. Online study offers convenience, while traditional classroom type offers live interaction and building connections.

It depends on some major factors like:

1-      How important is, to “Minimizing the cost of studying” for the parts concerned.

2-      How far the study’s attendees, from the instructor / facilitator who will deliver the course study.

3-      Type of the course study itself, i.e. theoretical or practical studying.

4-       Specialized degree of the course study, i.e. introductory, specialized, or very specialized.

5-      The study’s main goal or reason, i.e. training course, eligible course, primary studying, or part of major subjective course.  

6-      Time needed to finalize subject‘s study i.e. short time, long time. Or fixed date.

7-      Material and handout used by the instructor / facilitator in delivering the study.

Traditional classroom is more effective as it is the one which truly prepares us for what is going to happen after we finish our studies. Aside from acadamic learning, it enhances our socialization skills, the way we manage the tasks given to us and how every action in the society will either be rewarding or detrimental to us.

that belong to the student himself because some of them prefer to study alone and others prefer to study in traditional classroom but sometimes you life way and needs force you to take a specific role you don't like so no one can judge other's in these point your answer become from your own experiance from my own experiance every student got a new questions from time to time so when they all together in a class room they can ask the question to the teacher and got the answer that will make the knowledge wider and more helpfull but the online studying have no one to answer his questions except  Mr.Google and no one can prove that answer is correct or not or someone around him may got the answer already

Both methods have their own merits and demerits, so the question in contention would be, "which one has bigger merits & less demerits than the other?" As agreeed upon by most experts here & fully put down or illustrated by Mr. Nadjib Rabahi, the Traditional method is better & more effective than Online study.

Classroom is more effective as feedback is faster and it is more interactive with high communication unlike online with no 1 on 1 feedback

Thanks for the invitation. 

I think traditional learning is more effective due to facilitation of discussions,  participation & exchange of knowledge.
