Traditional Learning Versus E-Learning

Abstract

Differentiating from the digital immigrants, who speak a "language" specific to the pre-digital era, the native digitals come to the fore by their own identity. Being built according to the specificity of the current society, it is marked by the influences of modern technology. In the field of education, e-learning covers a set of on-line and off-line applications and processes, which include a series of educational platforms and ways of learning based on web, CAI, virtual class, multimedia, etc. Compared to the other theories of learning, the cognitive theory of multimedia learning encourages the student to build a series of coherent mental connections, starting from multimedia material. The goal of this research is to make a comparative analysis between traditional education and e-learning. Starting from the features of virtual reality, we have focused on designing a sequence of training able to combine both the classical and modern approachesbased on the efficiency of the new educational technology. Being of an ameliorative type, our research starts from the premise that the educational process in the e-learning context is just as effective as the traditional one. It requires, however, a change in the pedagogical style and an up-dating of the way in which the training is being designed and done. Some forms of online learning (on-line and in the classroom) are likely to become the norm, because the students will choose one or several online courses to complete their training.

Measuring attitudes towards biology major and non-major: Effect of students’ gender, group composition, and learning environment

“…Collaborative learning is a learning strategy that involves groups of students working together to solve problems and learn new concepts [89]. In contrast, in traditional learning, students explore content by posing, examining, and answering questions under the instructor's direct guidance [90][91][92]. A few studies posit that the 7E instructional and collaborative learning methods are more effective than traditional PLOS ONE teaching biology lectures [37].…”

The Attitude of the Academic Community towards Distance Learning: A Lesson from a National Lockdown

“…Some have concluded that the students' learning outcome achievements are comparable in the case of both distance and conventional techniques (Corter et al 2011;Brinson 2015). Distance learning teaching requires a change in the pedagogical style and very careful design of the training process (Ilie 2019). While in the traditional learning all the educational processes including planning, monitoring, and evaluation are maintained by teachers, distance learning also involves the student and can be recognized as a part of socio-emotional development (Volet et al 2009).…”

The Adoption of E-learning by Students in Zimbabwean Universities in the Wake of COVID-19

“…The difference between eLearning systems and traditional methods is that eLearning systems do not only focus on instruction but also on learning that can suit individuals or groups. In the traditional setup, the education is more engrossed on the teacher as opposed to the student which is the main thrust of eLearning [15] . Differences between traditional and online learning may also be acknowledged in terms of principal sources of information, assessment, or quality of education.…”

“…Differences between traditional and online learning may also be acknowledged in terms of principal sources of information, assessment, or quality of education. While in traditional education, students are evaluated only by teachers, who also represent their main source of information, and the quality of education is dependent on teacher's knowledge and skills, in online learning, the evaluation may be done with the help of tools and systems, students can acquire information from various documents uploaded on the platform, and the quality of education is influenced by the level of training that teachers have in using technology and also their teaching style [15] . [16] identified and described eight principles that stand at the core of effective online teaching, task time, encouraging students to allocate more time for completing tasks, high expectations, the teacher should communicate their expectations to encourage and motivate students, diversified learning, and technology application.…”
