IELTS ESSAY CLASSROOM SESSIONS OR ONLINE COURSES

Technology may have revolutionized the realm of education, and many may be feeling that delivering of courses is now better done online rather than through classroom sessions, I do not subscribe to this notion, and consider classroom teaching can never be superseded.

Classes on internet seem to in vogue with those who suggest that this new technique is helping save invaluable money – otherwise spent on establishment of facilities with large classrooms and providing ancillary support, like maintenance and administration. This has allowed educational institutions to divert financial resources to focus on more critical areas, such as improving the quality of the content to be delivered, dedicating more money to explore better and better resources of education.

Moreover, not just the establishment cost, online tutoring has also made it possible for the teachers to save money and time wasted on travelling to and from schools and colleges. This has not only helped the individuals but also the organizations who do not have give extra money to faculty on account of travelling expenses, or providing them conveyance. Individual faculty can also  now spend that extra time with the students

Having said that, classroom sessions are virtually irreplaceable, for the benefits reaped in the classes are virtually unmatched. While delivering lectures and  content to the students, the tutors are able to gauge the responses of the learners and react accordingly. Similarly, pupils are also able to comprehend better in a formal academic environment, in presence of teacher and their classmates. This can help improve the academic outcomes dramatically. 

To conclude, it can be said that despite online courses gaining colossal fan following, conventional classroom based sessions are virtually irreplaceable. This traditional method equipped with its basic yet comprehensive approach has always brought laurels for both learners and teachers.
