Can online education be compatible with
the traditional one?
It
is believed that since the beginning of human existence every generation tried
to pass its knowledge to the next generation; at first it started orally, and
by the time writing was invented they started writing it in books and after
that education developed until education systems as we know them started. After
that education system had stayed the same since then.
Distinguishes traditional and online
education.
Education from online education apart from the
activities which can help one developing his personality, manners and
perspicacity, is the environment where one can meet with his colleagues in real
life, socialise and interact with them, the classroom provide a healthy
environment for classmates’ direct discussions and competitions scenarios which
motivates students indirectly to study more and the easily approachable
teachers which can clear any question or doubt. In online education you are
limited to discuss only course materials with your course mates via text
chatting or webcam.

But online education’s main advantage is the one-on-one
experience which provides you with personal attention of the tutor which has a
good effect on students’ understandings, attention span and prevents them from
daydreaming because of the individual attention while the traditional education
lacks that because of the attention being divided on the students in the
classroom.
Traditional
education is wider. While online education covers and discusses topics which
are directly related to courses the students registered for, while in
traditional education the lecturers frequently covers many points which does
not relate directly but considered important or common-knowledge materials.
Online education and traditional
education systems and that online education are convenient in both time and
cost and deficiency of human direct interactions, whereas we found that
traditional systems emphasise on human social interaction and help builds one’s
personality and give pre-work experience due to lab work and training. To use both systems simultaneously can improve
educational experience.
