Long-duration screen time becomes a great difficulty for the students and harmful for their health as well, especially the eyes.
Another disadvantage includes technical glitches. Poor Internet connectivity issues also arise multiple times during online sessions. Small towns/cities, urban areas face the most difficulty maintaining stable Internet connection. It destroys the learning of the students.
Other disadvantages include: Feeling of isolation by individuals, Minimal peer help, Group work not as efficient as it would be if done offline.
Advantages of Offline classes:
Students are fully attentive towards class only; less distraction. Online classes have more possibilities of distractions where students may surf on other online platforms or pay less attention in class.
Teachers can provide individual attention to the students, address their issues and solve it quickly.
Disadvantages of Offline classes:
Students may lack the opportunity to learn advancing technology.
Time management becomes an issue for students who reside far away from campus.
No recording or any other form of data is not always available for students who missed the class or later references.
The advantages and disadvantages can differ from person to person. The ones listed above are few general ones commonly heard. Online education is more favourable for secondary school and university students, as they are less prone to develop health consequences than younger students. Offline education will allow younger kids to create a habit of functioning in a different environment and explore it. Most young kids do not want to study with their parents or elder siblings, for which going to school is beneficial for them.
