Is online learning as good as face-to-face learning?

Personally, I think that face-to-face learning is better because teachers can actually teach things to rather than you teach yourself and possibly be doing things wrong. Face-to-face learning is nice occasionally for social interactions, logically. Some tend to agree with critics who say that the popularity of these courses reflects a desire to save money on teachers in tough budgetary times.

According to Qui Nguyen “I agree that online learning is great, but a bit complicated. Since elementary to 6th grade, I’ve used paper and a pencil”. Now that some are learning on computers and tablets, there’s still more to learn. In my opinion face-to-face is better because it helps me from getting distracted. Using a computer distracts me from doing my school work. Face-to-face versus to face to screen in recent years, numbers of students, who are taking courses online, he says last year he also took some online classes and he cannot refuse the advantages of these online courses. Also, “I know why students prefer taking online courses”.

On one hand, online classes bring students some advantages of the flexible time, the freedom of exploration online, and so on. On the other hand, he believes that online courses are not as good as face-to-face classes because an online class does not give students a chance to interact with others, to discuss any issue or problem with teachers or friends, and to have a real atmosphere of a real class as a face to face class. Also, how can an online course make students focus on the lessons?

I think the answer is that is that online schooling cannot give students full attention on studying. And in my opinion, online schooling is not as good as face to face. First of all a cell phone can cause distraction for a student who is taking an online class. As I notice that everyone does have a cell phone, so what will happen if a student is studying when his phone rings? I believe he will answer the phone without any thinking right away. However, he will not answer that phone if he does not study in a classroom, face-to-face class because every classroom has its own sign that shows “NO CELLPHONES IN A CLASS”.

In my view, face-to-face schooling is still much better than online schooling because in a classroom of face-to-face course where students can stay away from those distraction factors. Moreover, how can a student overcome these distractions to study online? I think the good solution for this issue that students should register a face-to-face course instead of an online schooling because obviously the online schooling is not as good as the face-to-face schooling.
