Which mean of education is better ie online or traditional way of teaching?

Answer 1

That is an excellent question, and the simple (and least helpful, of course) answer is, "it depends." Let me see if I can clarify and refine, though...

Each person learns and studies differently. For some people, only in-classroom learning works. For others, learning online almost works-out better. For still others, it matters not... either way works just fine.

Back when the only distance learning content delivery modality was old-fashioned, through-the-postal-system "correspondence" courses, then maybe in-classroom learning really was better. But with today's technologies, it's possible to make the student feel like s/he's right in the classroom.

Also, the US Department of Education (USDE) commissioned a study in 2009 which revealed that online students are actually more disciplined, more serious, and tend to do generally better than their in-classroom counterparts.

So, then, whether or not online or in-classroom learning is inherently "better" depends, entirely, on the student. Some do better in online environments, and others do better in in-classroom environments.

If your'e self-disciplined and can make yourself sit down at the computer and "attend" classes/lectures; and if you can make yourself go login to the discussion forums and participate; and if you have the self-discipline to sit down and do your homework when you're supposed to; and if you don't require the socialization that in-classroom learning provides, then you'll likely do well in online learning. If not, then maybe you should stick with in-classroom learning.
