Question

Do you think that online teaching will replace the traditional classroom? Why or why not ? If you were able to take all your college classes online and receive the same degree from the same college, would you? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No.I personally feel that online teaching will never replace the traditional classroom. This is because of the following reasons-

1- The personal touch/ human touch is completely lost in online teaching- learning phenomenon as everything is virtual.

2- Discipline related facets cannot be entirely practised in online method.

3- The playfulness, liveliness and give and take mechanism is affected negatively in online learning.

4- Freedom and motivation level tend to be more in traditional classrooms than online ones.

5- Face to communication enables students to be more social, empathetic and better human beings.

6- There are several subjects which cannot be tought online as they include laboratory practicals.

If i happen to take all my college classes online and receive the same degree from the same college, still i will not be interested in online classrooms and will prefer traditional classsroom because of the above mentioned reasons and further due to the fact/ reality that social interactions, fitness maintaining, moral and spiritual elevation are better in traditional classrooms.
