what is the difference between learning online and traditional learning?

Learning online takes independence and willpower.  I'm involved in an online high school.  Sometimes, it's hard to focus and my determination dwindles.  However, an online school is great for people who are unable to attend a traditional learning environment.  There are many students in my school who are geniuses and would be teased because of their young age.  The curriculum most often matches that of traditional learning, however the classes offered usually varies more than a normal school.  For example, there are more AP classes or higher education levels.  With learning online, one can do their work when it's convenient for them, unlike a normal school where homework/etc. is usually due the next day.  An online school is a good opportunity of someone has motivation and determination to help themself learn.  Otherwise, it's not a good choice.

You can:\n1. Learn at your desired pace - slow or fast\n2. Get information about the subject that is updated more frequently\n3. Participate in discussions and interation with participants belonging to wider range of area, culture and age group.\n\nAlso,\n\n4. Interactive/streaming video tutorials may be played back saveral times and their retention is far greater.\n5. You have sufficient time and opportunity to look for other related material on the Internet and elsewhere.\n6. Variety of course combinations may be made.\n7. You (may) become more disciplined and organized.

"Online" means virtual. Why do you care where the course matter originates?

compared to a century ago?  yes, I think there has been a significant change to educational learning. Look at elementary school.  They had books. Good things those books. But they only had that, eachother, and the teacher.  Now we have books, computers, voice books, television, teachers and they had each other.  Another major learning environment for the very young is the gym. Today, Physical fitness among 3rd graders is very different from a century ago.  Now we have small bikes, a variety of balls for a cheap and inexpensive price, and other odd stuff.  \nNow if I interpreted your question to, does technology impact educational learning, or does technology impact the way a child learns, the actual brain mechanics? Why?\nThe answer would be similar.  Yes ways of learning have arrived and changed since a century ago.  But for a child, how variable is learning?  One child growing up in the city of New York might go through the same phases as a child growing up in Africa, but different skills would be emphasized.

The workload is similar, but it make or may not be effective for you it kind of depends on what way you learn best.  I have had classes both ways and found I learned more from the ones where I had to go to class.

Distance learning is usually obtaining training via the Internet in the form of videos, powerpoint presentations, software tutorials, etc. However, distance learning is also watching/participating in a teleconference at a nearby school or library or even in your own home. The one conducting the teleconference may be a university professor at a university hundreds or thousands of miles away. This type of education is becoming very common and is offered by more and more colleges and universities. This is great for people that have obligations (family, job, etc.) and/or don't live near a school they want to attend. Yes, many people are interested in obtaining their college education via distance learning. However, it's not for everyone. And, you can't take all of you classes via distance learning at regular universities.

I am a Medical Technologist and at this time, if you want to work in the field, go to a regular colleg or university.  Most employers as of yet don't recognize on line education.  Also there is a lot of practical lab training involved which just can't be done online

Isn't an easy way to do it, in fact, for some people it is more difficult to get an online degree than a traditional classroom based degree. You need a lot of self-discipline, high reading ability, and motivation to do a lot of learning on your own to do an online program. The only part of an online program that people view as "easier" is that you aren't necessarily tied down to a particular time of day to do your work. So, if you are a night owl you can do all your work at night, for example.\n\nThat said, if you are interested in an online degree then you should seek a degree from a school that also has an established classroom based degree program. Recognize that many people still have a stigma toward internet degrees, so having a degree from an established college/university will lessen the stigma. \n\nHope this helps.

I have a doctorate degree in clinical psychology. My entire undergraduate degree was through a distance learning program. I found that what I learned online far surpassed my friends who were graduating with their master's degree in traditional on campus programs. I feel one can learn as much, if not more depending on their motivation, taking online courses. However, I would highly discourage graduate level courses in psychology because there are too many things at stake (e.g., a therapist's competence in dealing with potential life decisions of other humans). However, undergraduate courses are not designed to teach one to do actual therapy, but to lay a foundation for that work to be laid on.

"Replace" is a strong word.  I can see them becoming more readily accepted, and probably will become the dominant mechanism for some types of education, but I really think they will ultimately have more impact on K-12 than on universities, and they will never have any real impact on graduate school (beyond some isolated degree programs like the MBA).  The university may be able to farm out a lot of the required coursework...the same types that we used to try to CLEP out of years ago, but I can't see the majority of coursework becoming online only.  Still, the volume of classes that CAN become online will have a great effect on the way we do higher education.

it is better to take some classes for that, if you want to learn on the internet so it is very difficult bcoz the teacher will give some practical work according to the work done in the real world... but if u want to learn online the try the followinf link where u can find basics and advanced articles for every language...

Without a doubt there is nothing like true classroom instruction.  If that is not possible then online is a decent second choice.

An on-line degree can be just as valuable as one earned through a traditional, on-campus degree program--if the on-line program is sponsored by an accredited/credentialed college or university that has a solid reputation.  \n\nThe question really should be whether an on-line program can meet your specific educational needs as well as a  traditional program.  Before you rush off to enroll, stop a moment and consider whether or not virtual learning is right for you.\n\n\nIs the class or program of study offered by an accredited university?\nDoes this university have a solid reputation in the field in which you will pursue your coursework or degree?\nWhat sort of training do the instructors have?\nHow long will it take to complete a course or program of study?\nAre all of the classes taught on-line or will you need to attend a real classroom some of the time?\nIs the class taught in real-time (meaning you'd have to log on during specific hours/times/days), or is time management up to me?\nHow much will it cost me?\nAnd, finally, is there any financial aid available to me?\n\nIf, after working through these questions, you're satisfied with your answers, an on-line degree program may well be a good match for you.\n\nGood luck!

In my opinion, nothing replaces being in a school with a live instructor.  Online classes may help strengthen your technique, but without the basic knowledge...online classes are futile.
