ONLINE LEARNING V OFFLINE LEARNING
S
The year 2020, has changed the normal course of life of the whole world. This year has
brought a lot of positive as well as negative change in our life. The line “WORK FROM
HOME” makes everything online.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has forced educational institutions worldwide to adopt online
mode of teaching in a bid to ensure that learning continues unhindered. While the
transition from offline to online learning has been a forced one, necessitated by the virus, it
does herald a change in the current system of education, thereby proving to be a huge
opportunity to restructure the current methodology of teaching and learning.
As technology has developed, so too has the way we learn new skills. Thanks to the
internet, those interested in boosting their knowledge and skills now have a wide range of
options open to them.
The main difference between online and offline learning is location. With offline learning,
participants are required to travel to the training location, typically a lecture hall, college
or classroom. With online learning, on the other hand, the training can be conducted from
practically anywhere in the world. Participants simply need to log on internet form their
homes, work or even their local coffee shop.
Another difference is the flexibility offered. Online learning usually has a more flexible
timescale. As a trainer, you can offer your support via email or through an online chat
system.
With offline learning, it’s easier to ensure attendees are paying attention to the training.
Online learning saves time, money and energy spent on commuting long distances.
Although online learning has become the preferred method for the majority of learners, it’s
important not to dismiss the benefits of offline training too.
Both of the teaching systems have some advantages and disadvantages.
But, the feeling which was experienced by the learning environment of offline learning is
far better than any other form of learning.
