Study online or on campus

1. Today, I received a phone call from one of my high school friends. She told me that she is studying a college course on the Internet. I know being a college student has been a dream for her. However, she does not like study on campus, where she thinks has limited freedom.

2. Should distance learning and online computer classes replace classroom learning? This is really a tough question to answer, however, after considering the pros and cons, I hold the opinion that students should study in classroom. The reasons are as follows.

3. On the first hand, distance learning online means students study far away from the professor and other students. This could forbid them from making full communication with teachers and other students, although they can communicate with computers or phone. It is more convenient for students discuss within a classroom with the professor and classmates.

4. Besides, students are young, and maybe they cannot control themselves, so if they study lonely, they may have a lower efficiency compared with studying together with many other students. Thus distance learning online is bad for study in the long run.

5. In addition, modern computer technology is not stable enough for a long time, so study maybe disturbed by net incidents. There are many factors that may affect the study, for instance, the speed of Internet, virus in the Internet, and even bad weather condition could disrupt the Internet.

6. So students may not be able to study consistently as they do in a classroom.

7. However, studying in a classroom not only makes students study more comfortable and efficient, but let them have chances to learn other necessary social skills, for instance, the skill of communication with other people, skill of handling problems within a group, and independence from family. These are all very important from their latter life and work.

8. Generally speaking, distance learning is not a good way for study, as the computer technology is not stable, which would disturb the study, and it is not comfortable for students to communicate with teachers and classmates.

9. What is more, distance learning may forbid students from learning other social skills. So if one have to make a choice between online study and study in a classroom, it is better to select the second one.

10. This is my opinion about this situation, but different people have different opinions, I believe that everyone could be found a proper way for themselves based on their own situations.

  1. Dear sister,

    You are so right. Studying in a classroom is better than online. Sometimes people perhaps don't want to go to school, at that time, online will be a good way to study.

    This topic is so good, I like it so much.

    Hope you everything fine and happy every day!

  2. HI Mickie.

    I agree with you. Online class is more comportable than traditional class. However it might cause a lot of bad effect such as cheating. Moreover, student don't learn social skill.

  3. Hi Mickie
    Good writing and topic.
    I think always technology make human lazy, and easy to gain things. Online learning may be useful for someone with disabilities. But I prefer classes than online teaching, because class teaching is more interactive and live than online teaching.
    Thanks

  8. Hi Mickie,

    I'd perfer to study in the classroom, as I can meet more people here and make friends with each other. In my mind, I perfer to have a class with teacher face to face. In this way, I can know the important points from the teachers appearance.

    All in all, thank you for your topic^^

  11. That is a nice topic. In my opinion, I prefer to study on campus because if we study on campus, we can feel real to study. When we study online, we can not make friends. I like to feel scent of human. Therefore I want to study on campus with friends.

    Thank you!

  12. Hi, Mickie!

    Actually, I take other online course now. This course lecture me about management skill, of course conducted in Japanese. And sure, my company forced me to study as one of training. On the surface, it is usefully to study on website. But I have never do this in the U.S. Because this course terrible bore me. Just watching PC alone. Obviously to study on campus is best for real study of everything.

    Thank you for your good topics!

  14. Hi, Mickie.

    I agree with you.
    Learning something absolutely needs a comunication because a person isn't able to solve a probrem by oneself.
    Young generation people especialy need cooperation.
    In my opinion,feel an atmosphere in the class is most important matters for students.

    I like this topic.
    Thank you!

    Study on campus is much better because study face to face they have different effect to explain.

  16. Hi Mickie,

    My friend study some classes online. He liked it. But I prefer to study by traditional way, because if I have question how can I ask and understand like with Nobi and Ruelaine classes.

    In the fact, both are good ways but in different cases.

    THIS IS ONE OF THE HOT TOPICS AMONG TEACHERS BECAUSE LOTS OF SCHOOL OPEN ONLINE CLASS, BUT THEY ARE STILL NOT SURE ITS EFFECTIVENESS; WHICH IS BETTER, CLASSROOM OR ONLINE. TO ME, THEY SEEM TO BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT TEACHING, SO IT MAY NOT BE SENSIBLE TO COMPARE THEM. PERSONALLY I LIKE CLASSROOM!
