Full time course
[Classroom learning]
A full time course is a learning experience that generally
involves a regular interaction of the student and professors. Social
interaction and communication among students, colleagues and lecturers tend to
be one crucial part of traditional full time courses.

face-to-face instruction. You are able
to clear doubts in the moment.
There is
face-to-face interaction with classmates.
Networking is
easier. On-campus education provides communication through the same channels
with the addition of in-person, in-classroom opportunities.
Disadvantages:
Classroom education is time bound you got to attend the
whole session or else you won’t be able to understand the topic
Classroom

reports, a decline in traditional college enrollment is seen. Percentage of
college students enrolled for Campus learning:
● 2014: 75
per cent
● 2015: 70 per

Online Learning
Online
learning is education that takes
place over the internet. It is often referred to as E-Learning. Online learning
is becoming a popular choice for students around the globe as it eliminates the
distance barrier.
Advantages
You can
learn while sitting in the comfort of your home.
You can
attend class at any time of the day or night.
It is
convenient for those who work a full-time job.
Online
learning provides the same kind of environment as in the real classroom.
Online
learning has managed to capture a lot of attention in the past few years.
Online learning offers many channels through which students and instructors
interact with each other, including email, online chat, and video conferences.
Disadvantages
Online
learning might be pocket friendly and saving quite a long time on traveling but
still it lacks the physical experience. It may be hard to express your
thoughts, feelings or opinions in writing.
Emails,
discussion board posts, and chats may be misunderstood because there are no
visual cues to your/the sender’s intentions.
Lots of
reading is required -- from the lecture, to textbooks, to discussion board
posts which you must read and respond to, you have to be sure not to miss vital
information.
It is
difficult to form a real connection with your peers
Chances of
getting distracted
Questionable creditability of degrees
The reports published
by Journal of Public Affairs Education which stated that:
● While online education tends to have less sense of
instructor control, group dynamics were more favorable.
● Group contact tends to be continually maintained in online
learning, but in the classroom setting, there was little group contact between
meetings.
● Because of the distributed model of group studying, members
may be slower to respond in the online setting.
● Although response time may be longer online, the quality of
feedback tends to be more detailed and focused than in the classroom setting.
Many students want to quickly earn their degree with an
online accelerated program, but they don’t understand or respect the amount of
time required for studying. Successful students understand this and are willing
to work at a pace that takes into account all that they have to do and those
are the students who most often complete their educational goals. So, just like
every coin has two sides, online learning and full time courses has its own
merits and demerits. But the traditional way of learning i.e. full time course
was found to be more authentic and reliable for an uplifting future.
