Classroom learning is definitely better. While some suggest that E-learning is much more convenient because you only have to stay at home and have lessons, I think the truth is far away from their imagination. In reality, E-learning is troublesome. It is like talking to a speaking robot. That is weird. Moreover, I sometimes cannot log in Zoom class. It is embarrassing. It happened to me. When I was having my LS lesson, my teacher forgot to allow me to enter the room. I mean… at least you won’t be like me in the classroom.
I think classroom learning is something can’t be replaced by e-learning. During classroom learning, there is much less disturbance than e-learning. It is because when your are at home, you get your phone by your side and you can do whatever you want as the teachers won’t know it. From my point of view, mobile phones are the culprit of students failing to concentrate in e-learning lesson. Apart from that, classroom learning includes face-to-face interactions. It is crucial for teachers to comprehend the learning progress of students. E-learning can have the interactions too but most of the students don’t have the suitable condition to do that. Therefore I prefer the traditional classroom teaching instead of e-learning.
I think the classroom learing is better than e-learning.The effectiveness of e-learning is low,students seem to be listening, but they are actually doing something else or there are many temptations at home,such as playing with your cell phone at home, without restriction,or there’s a bed where you can lie down on bed for class.Instead, classroom learning need to go back to school.Also, school rules dictate that you have to concentrate on class. For example, you can’t turn on a cell phone, have no bed, have no TV, and the teacher won’t let you dream during class.Thus,classroom learning are more effective than e-learing and can really absorb knowledge and I prefer the traditional classroom for learning.
In my opinion, classroom learning has more advantages than E-learning. In the class, we would be more concentrate that learning at home through the computer. We may easily be attracted by other stuff when we are joining the online lesson at home. We will check the messages when the alarm rings. This will make us keeping unconcentrated during the lessons, we may miss some core points at the end. On the other hand, having a lesson in the classroom, the teacher could know our learning state at the moment. When we have some curious face shown, the teacher could know immediately and explain in a more detailed way. So that I think classroom learning is better than E-learning.
In my opinion, I would say classroom learning is better than e-learning. Not just the efficiency, but also the atmosphere of the class. When I was attending e-learning courses, the atmosphere when I was listening to the teacher was very lazy. When we are e-learning at home, we usually sit in a cozy environment with our phone and other stuffs. The atmosphere of this situation isn’t suitable for learning at all. Take a look at classroom learning, you sit in a classroom with teacher monitoring your progress can let you really focus more on your study. A learning atmosphere with a little bit pressure is better than those without pressure. Hence, I think classroom learning is better
From my point of view, classroom learning is much better than e-learning. Firstly, we were easily distracted by our surroundings during e-learning. Like our phones always ring for the notifications when we are attending the class. We would just pick up our phones to reply to messages and play some games so we are difficult to focus on the lesson and miss out on some topics. Furthermore, our interactions with teachers or classmates are worst when we use e-learning. As we can’t communicate with teachers face to face. Sometimes, we may misunderstand some concepts but we will not immediately ask teachers for help since there is likely a communication burden in e-learning. Thus, it is more difficult to interact with teachers and ask them some questions through e-learning. As a result, the efficiency of classroom learning is better than e-learning. Therefore, I prefer classroom learning to e-learning.
I believe that classroom learning is better. Inside the classroom, teachers can know the status of the students, such as knowing who are sleeping and who are feeling confused. Therefore teachers can deal with them in time. Moreover, students can have better interactions with teachers easily without facing any technical issues. In contrast, students can easilybe distracted by the surroundings, such as phone messages. And hence they lose their motivation and concentration to study. Somebody may argue that it is troublesome to spend time travelling to schools. However, it would not take so much time for transport as most of the students live near the schools they study at. Also, classroom learning ensure most students are will-prepared for and concentrated in studying. I strongly believe that the higher learning efficiency of classroom learning can compensate the time wasted for transportation.
I agreed with other’s opinions. I think that classroom learning is undoubtedly better than e-learning at home. There are lots of pros of classroom learning that e-learning cannot replace. For example, classroom learning can provide students with a good learning environment and atmosphere because they will not be hooked by their electronic devices. When students studying at home, staying in a comfortable environment to learn, students will not be concentrated studying. Apart from that, regular attendance in classes helps them interact with other individuals of their own age and can be better disciplined. Students can also ask for the teacher’s help when meeting difficulties in learning immediately, teachers will know what the student don’t understand and can help them to solve the problem more convenient when face to face contact.
I think that e-learning is much better than classroom learning in terms of flexibility. Firstly, you can choose anywhere that makes you feel comfortable to have the lesson, such as your desk, at a cafe, you can just choose a place which allows you to concentrate. Moreover, if you don’t understand what the teacher have taught, you can replay the video of the lesson, listen it one or even more times, until you hundred percent sure that you understand what the teacher have said. Compared with classroom learning, you neither choose the place having the lesson nor replay the lesson. In conclusion, I opt for e-learning because it is more flexible.
For me, I will choose classroom learning. Firstly, we can be more concentrated on classes. As when we are having e-learning at home, there are many temptations around us such as our mobile phones or computers, these electronic gadgets do hinder our learning. At school, when we are under teacher’s supervising, we will definitely be more concentrated. It is common to see that many students are struggling with the connection or other technical problems when they are having e-learning, these actually lower student’s learning efficiency. Therefore, I think classroom learning is better.
After adopting e-learning for the last few months, I found that e-learning actually show considerable potential in the future. In addition to its immense flexiblity, the consumption of the energy could also be reduced as the learning materials are stockpiled online. Nevertheless, classroom learning is more preferable for me as a student honestly. Thus, it should be better than e-learning currently in my opinion. Apart from the better learning atmosphere in the classroom, the interaction between teachers and the students there are also the paramount element for learning. Personally, I could not learn without them. More importantly, I am familiar with the classroom learning rather than the e-learning. I believe that all of us has been accustomed to classroom learning since we were in the kindergarten. I would say that’s a habit too. Therefore, classroom learning is better than e-learning for me at present.
I think classroom learning is better than e-learning .Firstly,it is more effective to study in class.If you have any question,you can ask your teacher or discuss with your classmates immediately.But if you adopt e-learning ,due to the restriction of e-learning,like internet connection,teachers may not help you to solve your problems immediately .So ,it is obvius that classroom learning is more effective.Secondly,students will be more concentrated to study in the classroom.Home has a lot of temptation like televison and mobile phone,it is hard for students to be concentrated during e-learning,But at school,students cannot watch TV shows and use their mobile phone.They can be more focused on the learning under teacher’s supervision.All in all,I believe classroom learning is better than e-learning.
Classroom learning is more preferable for me. Although e-learning may seem flexible when we first tried it for a short period. But if it last for a long time, we may found it inconvenient since e-learning usually requires less communication between teachers and students. Therefore it is hard for teachers to know about student’s current situation, like whether they can understand what have just taught. Nevertheless, the social skills of students may also be weakened. Since students no longer need to go out after the adoption of e-learning, they seldom need to talk and cooperate with other students. But in classroom, there are often discussions and group projects for students to deal with and therefore they can train their communication skills, which is super important for students in the future as people who are more good at cooperating with the others often gives better impression to people. Therefore classroom learning is much better than e-learning.
Despite classroom learning can provide a more concentrated study environment for students, I still think that e-learning is better than classroom learning. Firstly, e-learning is more environmentally friendly. For traditional classroom learning, there are a large demand of paper to print out the study’s materials and it caused a bit more harmful to the environment. But e-learning didn’t have this concern about the waste of paper, students just need to click on the link and then they can find out all learning materials they needed. Secondly, e-learning can save student’s money. As the stationeries were quite expensive nowadays, students may need to spend more money on it. E-learning can really solve this problem by handing homework through Internet. For classroom learning, I cannot finish my homework without correction tape because I will made mistakes easily when I am writing something. The cost of correction tape is a burden for me, but e-learning can save this cost and more convenient by doing homework through some software like Words.
In conclude, e-learning is a great choice for me to learn.
I think classroom learning is more effective than e-learning. Apart from it’s hard to be concentrated in front of the electrical gadgets, teachers can also know our learning progress. Classroom learning provide a more interactive lesson than e-learning. A more interactive lesson can definitely make all the students enjoy the lessons so that the atmosphere of the lessons would be better. These are all the advantages that e-learning may not achieve.
I think classroom learning is more better, When I am having a online lesson at home, it is hard to concentrate myself as there are too many electronic devices that will disturb me, I can not help myself using the phone, I remember it is not fault that do not pay the attention, but hard to bear the desire. Because of this, classroom learning is obviously more better, when I am at school, I can pay my attention to the lesson more easily as there are nothings disturb me, the learning environment is good. Also, when I see my classmates whose are study hard, their learning attitudes will spur me to learn together. To sum up, I think classroom learning can provide a great learning environment for students.
While elearning seemingly approaching to be a world trend of replacing traditional classroom learning , I still think that classroom learning is better. E-learning may have more benefits like students or teachers don’t need to spend their time commuting, but to sum up is all about more convenient. When we are pursuing convenience, there are always problems that are insurmountable by our nowadays technology. For example, the permenant damages which will be done to our eyes because of looking for phones or computers continuously, especially the ones who don’t have computer and enduring the blu-Ray emitted from the phones. It is totally a menace meting out ourselevs. Not to mention the personal problems like hard to concentrate, bad acoustic due to problematic Internet speed.
It seems that using E-learning is inevitable in this era, but we should minimise the sequences of using it.
I agree that classroom learning is better. E-learning has too many unstable factors which will affect students’ study. For example, internet, equipment, etc. In classroom learning, students and teachers can have more interaction.
Very good
Unlike classroom teaching, with online learning you can access the content an unlimited number of times. This is especially required at the time of revision when preparing for an exam. In traditional form of learning, if you can not attend the lecture, then you have to prepare for that topic on your own; in eLearning, you can attend the lectures whenever you want with ease.

:star_struck::star_struck:
I think that online learning is very convenient because we can have it in every place and every time as we just need our mobile phone or Ipad.
although e-learning is quite convenient,class room teaching can enhances critical thinking skills. It enhances students’ critical thinking skills. Teaching in a classroom gives students the opportunity to engage in live discussions in which they are forced to use their critical thinking skills to formulate opinions or arguments.
I think classroom learning is better than e-learning.Because teachers may have more interact with students.So that classroom learing is more effective than e-learning.

E-Learning and Classroom Learning both of them is great.But I think that classroom learning is better than E-learning because when we having the classroom learning we can get more attention on what teachers said.In contrast when we having the E-learning there are many external factors to affect us to study and to listen what teachers said.So I think that classroom learning is better than E-learning.
As a coin has two sides, elearning also has both advantages and disadvantages. Nevertheless, in my points of view, i believe that elearning is do more harm than good in contrast with classroom learning.
I think classroom learning and e-learning both have their benefits. Classroom learning can have better communication with teachers and classmates, it is more easy to ask questions too. For e-learning, we can have lessons in everywhere and we can watch the lessons videos after the lesson if we need. So I think in some subjects like chinese is better learn in classroom because we can ask about the essay and I think maths is suitable to have e-learning because sometimes we need more time to understand the knowledge.
I think that elearning is better than Classroom learning. Unlike traditional classes,with online lesson I can study every where i want and at the same time ,i can enjoy my meal !Due to its convenience and flexibility, the resources are available from anywhere and at any time.
Also,elearning lesson could be recorded,that’s means learning can be rewound and seen and heard again and again if you do not happen to understand the topic first time around. Therefore,i think that elearning are more effective than traditional classes.
I think classroom learning is better than e-learning. I think classroom learning more effective to students. For me, I can be more concentrated in the lessons as school provides a better environment to us. Teachers can have interactive with us and let the lesson more fun and interesting. I can learn communicate skills from others. So I can learn more from classroom learning.
I think classroom learning is better than e-learning because some students and teachers will face some technial problem,also they will not pay attention while they use their phone to attent the online class. Many allure cause the students may play phone etc. And i think learning in lessons , teachers can hold the student’s attention so that they can concentrate on the lessons.
The following is the profit and harm of using E-class.The profit of using E-class: it is a good way to improve the relationship of teachers and student and it is also a platform to communicate with others, even the holidays and weekends. The teachers can be upload teachers materials or quiz and let students refer to them. And the teachers can upload questions and let student do them by using Q and A or MC before deadline.
Although e-learning had become a trend since 21 century.Classroom learning is always better because of the following reason.
After months of e-learning experiences.I discover that it is not as nice as classroom learning as we don’t have interactions to our classmate or teacher.I mean face to face interactions.As simple as talking,the class can have much more fun during the boring lessons.It always helps when it comes to boring sections.
In 21 century,the world is becoming more and more convenient as the technology rises every single day.but what if we don’t have any real interactions with people or even our closest friends and family.It is so pathetic that people lost their interactions with others.
Well,nothing in the world is a silver bullet.E-learning is a new generation way to change how we study.We should adapt to the change instead of denying everything.It is not a bad thing,though.
In my opinion, I will choose classroom learning. It is a much more direct approach for us to study. Face to face is vital for teaching. We can ask questions faster. But in e-learning, it will be more difficult. We can’t solve problems in real time. Also, It is easy not to be concentrate at e-learning. We can’t learn much in it. So I think classroom learning is better.
elearning is convient but the effect is not better than classroom because the teacher did not know what you are doing . They do not you are understand or not.so the classroom learning is more better than elearning
From my point of view, I think classroom learning is much better for students to absorb the knowledge, as teachers won’t know whether their students are concentrate unless they request to open the cameras, however not every students have ability to open the caneras, some of thestudents may doing other stuffs like playing games or sleeping under the cameras, so that I think classroom learning is more benefical to students
I prefer traditional classroom learning compare with online learning.When in a classroom, students may be required to speak their mind and they can have more interaction with others.While students doing group discussion,it is better for them to do at traditional classroom as they can face to face with classmates.Online classroom lack of interaction and students are hard to ask questions through zoom class compare with traditional class.
Obviously, classroom learning is much better than e-learning. Although e-learning helps us to keep in touch with our classmates and teachers, it still cannot replace classroom learning as there is more interaction. It is hard for the teacher to explain some concepts through electronic devices instead of teaching them in person. In my opinion school life isn’t just learning, it also includes social and activities. We play with our friends at schools, we have lunch together, we can join different kinds of club events and so on. It is colorful that cannot be experienced via e-learning.
I think that classroom learning is much better. Inside the classroom, classroom learning is more effectively than e learning, especially teachers inside the classroom can teach students more detailedly.It can avoid students to be lazy Teachers can know who are feeling confused. Therefore teachers can deal with them in time. Moreover, students can have better interactions with teachers easily without facing any technical issues. In contrast, students can easilybe distracted by the surroundings, such as phone messages.
Undoubtedly , classroom learning is much better than e-learning. For the classroom learning , we can absorb knowledge easily and much more clearly. This is because you can talk with teachers by face-to-face, which is more convenient to express your problems. However, e-learning is like to communicate with nobody. It is hard to perform like what we do in the classroom. On the other hand, e-learning is about self-discipline. It is true that you would not pay full attention while you are taking online lessons. Or else you may focus on your own busniess or smartphone while e-learning. That is why we can be more concentrated in the classroom, because you would not interrupt by the electronics.
I think both are good for learning, but I prefer classroom learning. Although e-learning can be flexible, students will be affected by poor network or devices they have. If I just use my smartphone to have e-learning lessons, it is too hard to see. Learning in classrooms can reduce this kind of problem because the schools have better equipments and learning environment than our home. Moreover, I think classroom learning can give us more motivation to studying than e-learning. It may because of the peer pressure or atmosphere. As when we are studying through e-learning, we may easily be disturbed by our phone messages, snack or social media. Also, learning in classrooms can let teachers and students have communication and discussion immediately, which can explain and teach more completely and avoid misunderstanding or confusion.
For my point of view,I think classroom learning is much more better than e-learning.While e-learning,we always watch the screen on phone or computer.It is hard to concentrate because of the electrical gadgets.Sometimes,I can’t control myself playing my phone while e-learning.Although,e-learning is flexible.We don’t need to wake up early.But the reaction between us and the teachers is less.On the other hands,classroom learning provide a lively atmosphere.During classroom learning,we can interact with the teachers.Also,we can communicate and have a discussion with friends.It can make the study become more effective!
Actually, e-learning and classroom learning both have their pros and cons, in my point of view, classroom learning is better than e-learning. First, the effectiveness of classroom learning is higher than e-learning. Classroom learning can more easier to create a learning atmosphere and improve learning effectiveness. In the other hand, although e-learning can break the time and space limit, realize the sharing of teaching resources, learn from each other to make up for each other. But actually, e-learning is distance education training, the lack of face-to-face communication between teachers and students, therefore,the effectiveness of e-learning lower than classroom learning.
In my opinion, classroom learning is better than e-learning. First, it improves social skills. Inside a classroom, students experience social interactions with peers and establish rapport with teachers. Helping students develop socially is an important aspect within the realm of their academic education. Second, it helps students studying more easily. Because students are more easier inattention in e-learning than classroom learning. They are attracted by some incentives for example smartphones and computers. Classroom learning let students pay attention in the lesson.That help students study better.In conclusion, classroom learning is much better than e-learning.
I think classroom learning is better than e-learning. First, the classroom learning can be more focused on learning and listening to what the teacher says, because the environment affects students’ concentration.When we have e- learing,there are many things at home, such as mobile phone, will divert the attention of the e-classes, so it is difficult to absorb knowledge. Second, the classroom learning can have more direct communication with students and teachers in class, when there are some questions and problems in study, teachers can give you answers and provide more examples immediately,so as to speed up the learning process. Thirdly, in the classroom, students may have face-to-face contact and communication with each other, which can have more fun in the school life. However, e-learning can’t meet and chat with friends face to face, so it is kind of boring .
I think classroom learning is better than e-learning.The reason is as follows:first,classroom learning may more efficient.There are a lot of technical problems during e-learning,for example students can not enter the room, the internet is not good and so on.This takes a lot of time to solve the problems,it slow down the progress.Second,the atmosphere of online class at home is relaxed,it difficult for students to concentrate,there are many barriers to easy distraction in online classes at home,such as cell phone messages,television,etc.Third,e-learning lacks the sense of reality.Students can not attend class face to face,they can’t ask questions immediately and those questions are hard to explain online.Therefore,I think classroom learning is better than e-learning.
That ’s a tough question.I think both options have their own benefits.One of the advantages of classroom learning is that classroom learning allows teachers to personally interact with students in a real environment. This allows the teacher to ensure that the students take the class seriously and understand the content of the class. However, some shy students may have trouble approaching the teacher with questions. At that moment, e-learning will be very comfortable for them.
One of the advantages of e-learning is e-learning usually includes some pre-recorded videos. Sometimes these are simple recordings of each topic with or without accompanying slides. So, we can watch the video and prepare it before the online classes. For some independent students, e-learning is a good teaching method.
To summarize, both options have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which one is better depends on the situation.
By the reason of COVID-19, school days have been cancelled. However, schools want students to study continuously, so they find other alternatives to replace classroom learning — E-learning. From my point of view, I do think E-learning is beneficial in many ways after I experienced four months of E-learning.
To commence with, E-learning is more flexible and accessible. To attend the online classes, all we need is just a mobile phone or a tablet. So we can join the classes wherever we are. Teachers can open classes at any time, even in holidays. Compared with classroom learning, students need to go to schools. Some of the students live far from schools, it may take a long time to go to schools.
In addition, E-learning is effective. After the online lessons, teachers can upload the recordings online. So students can revise it if they miss something or don’t understand something in the lessons. It may help students catch up the study process easily. Also, teachers can assign homework to students and upload their results online. This may help teachers check students’ performance and design a suitable and effective way to teach.
