Should online learning be replaced instead of traditional ways?

Post by tuananhchau »

Recently there has been no shortage of discussion about blending technological advances such as the Internet into teaching institutions as well as learning strategies. Personally, I strongly object to this change for many reasons, as will now be presented.

Primarily, leading a sedentary lifestyle provides the best explanation for online's learning drawbacks. Specifically, it is undoubted that studying is associated with social integrating and self-varying sources of information through real life training or researching. Furthermore, direct contact with teachers for lessons clarification and query-resolutions shall be considerably declined since immediate feedback cannot be possibly delivered due to overloaded amount of email received by lecturers.

Secondly, opportunities to attend in seminar discussions and gain hands-on experience would be on the threshold of limitation; as a result, learners are likely not to be proficient on basic skills required so as to pursue their studies. Thirdly, online learning should not be considered extensive form of classical classrooms as it is incapable of supporting interaction with peers such as exchange of notes, organizing group discussions, all of which are essential for individuals' development. In fact, no vocational online course can actually fill in the gap between theoretical materials and the outside world. So, traditional classrooms shouldn't be displaced.

In conclusion, online environment should not be guaranteed its continuity as the main educational institutions rather than the traditional methods for its unveiled disadvantages compatibly carried along.
