Offline Class Online Class
In the interest of
modern technology, the online class has brought about unimaginable changes in
the current education system instead of the traditional direct class, although
there are different views on this issue. To deal with the current pandemic
situation of covid-19, Green University of Bangladesh is taking online classes like other universities. Despite the many differences between the direct class and the online class, both the pros and cons have played an
effective role in the current education system to expand education.
The online class has
made the education system accessible to all which has brought about a major
change in the old education system. By using internet connectivity, we can
attend class from anywhere for the convenience of the online class. This is the
most appealing benefit of online education for students. In simple words, it
brings education right to our home. Because of Online class, we can review the
class if we want. By doing this we can understand the whole thing and practice
them very well. Those students who aren’t comfortable in classroom environment and
speaking in public, online class can be much easier to share their thoughts
with others. Due to the online facility, we can improve the quality of our
study through group study with classmates at any time by zoom platform. By
participating in the online class, we can also participate in various online
courses, which increases our skills.
Direct class is our
traditional conventional teaching and learning method. In this way students have to be
present all over so that they can concentrate on their studies well and there
is no chance of cheating. The best part of this approach is that students can
talk to their teachers right away to solve any problem immediately. Also, all
the training work or lab work can be learned in this way easily. This method
can be used to accurately evaluate any exam or class test. Students
participate in direct classes, expressing opinions on an educational subject
creates diversity in learning. In a physical classroom, the teacher is free to
move the learners around, grouping them in different ways and laying out the
class in a way that will make the activities run smoothly.
Now we are familiar
with the two methods- online class and direct class. The similarities between
the two methods of participating in the class and giving the exam are observed
from the presence of the students. Many difference are observed between them.
Internet connectivity and some digital devices are required to participate in
the online class, which is expensive. Apart from these, it is possible to do
direct class. The way to communicate with teachers in direct class is not
possible in online. The online class can be seen again which is more effective
than the direct class. Students can be verified better in direct attendance
than online. If the class is online, students can participate from any place
which is not possible in the off-line class. Educational diversity is less seen
in direct class than in online class.
To sum up, while there
are difference between direct class and online class, both methods can be
useful for the students in different ways. Both methods contribute well to our
education system although they have some advantage and disadvantage. However,
in a more and more globalized workplace, online classes are becoming an obvious
choice for any professional program. Finally, both methods are needed to keep
the education system afloat.
