    Education is the key to good life, as they say. Many people compete for education for them to acquire relevant skills and also get good jobs. In the past before the invention of the internet, education was delivered through face to face mode only. There was no distance learning.

    Today, however, there is distance learning, which is an alternative to face to face type of learning. The internet has allowed tutors and students to interact through online platforms, for students to learn. In some cases, the student completes the course and even graduates without meeting his tutor even at once!

    There are various reasons why students choose either face to face or online mode of study. The most obvious reason is to save time. Some students are so busy with other duties that they can only afford to take their studies during their free time, online. Others opt for it to feel the whole experience of total digital learning.

    Other students prefer face to face approach, basing on their own sentiments about the same. One of the reasons could be for easier interaction with the tutor and fellow course mates. Such students become serious when they are in a classroom environment.

    What do you prefer? What are your reasons for the preference?

    I'd prefer face to face education over long distance or online mode education.My reason is that in face to face education you get to follow the rules and learn accordingly. The teacher will always be there to guide you. A sense of socialism will also be instilled in the learner as you get to interact directly with your teacher.
    On the other hand, online mode education tends to give the learner too much freedom which is most likely the basis for a 'not so good' life. Although the learner might be an academic giant, he might end up a loser in life.

    Education in the online world does not seem like a bad idea. I'd prefer face-to-face education.
    I would feel more comfortable if someone was with me to learn and to highlight my mistakes I make.
    Online education it sounds difficult to help someone. There are also more strict schedules when it comes
    to face-to-face education and I think it would be better that way. Online education does not have much of
    a strict schedule on when you need to be learning.
