Want to start studying online, but feeling overwhelmed with all the information? Read on to get a clear understanding of what is online education, how different it is from in-classroom learning, the main benefits of studying this way and whether it's the right fit for you.

What is online learning?

Online or E-learning is a fast growing method of learning where students attend virtual lectures instead of going to the classrooms, they interact with students in exclusive online groups and access learning material with ease. Everything is driven by the student’s own convenience.

Is online learning better?

This form of learning is gaining more momentum especially during the pandemic and post-pandemic era. Most of the educational institutes have successfully adapted to this medium. Some of them are also offering hybrid or blended learning which is a mix of classroom teaching and online studies.

While the content, teachers and assessments stay almost the same, one major difference between in-classroom and E-learning is the method of delivery. Instead of facing the teacher and interacting with other students at a fixed place and fixed time, the learners choose a time that works for them, at a place of their choice.
