Online Learning or Face-to-face Learning?

 The gap between online learning and face-to-face learning is closing these days.// Thanks to online learning, students can take courses and contact their teachers and classmates, even if they are at home.// They can also access the latest e-learning content anytime they want.// However, compared to face-to-face learning, students need to be more self-motivated and better at time management.//
 On the other hand, face-to-face learning offers students a closer relationship with their teachers and classmates.// Even though they must go to a physical classroom at a scheduled time and adapt to the teacher’s teaching method, they can gain greater understanding through a variety of learning activities, including discussion, group work, demonstrations and practice.//
 For those who prefer to study at their own pace, online learning is more suitable.// In contrast, face-to-face learning is better for students who want to be involved in group activities.//
