This document discusses and compares online learning and classroom learning. It defines online learning as having two categories: synchronous learning which occurs at scheduled times via video or chat, and asynchronous learning which allows students to work at their own pace with periodic instructor communication. It lists advantages of online learning like time savings and lower cost, and disadvantages like needing internet and computer skills. Classroom learning benefits from direct access to instructors and participation in activities, but has disadvantages of schedule restrictions and costs. The conclusion is that while online learning has benefits, classroom teaching is preferred due to the support of teachers and interpersonal interaction.
