ONLINE LEARNING VS TRADITIONAL LEARNING: A COMPREHENSIVE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

This paper presents a detailed comparative analysis of online and traditional learning methodologies. With the digital revolution and global educational shifts, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been significant discourse around the advantages, disadvantages, and overall effectiveness of both systems. The study examines key aspects such as accessibility, cost, learning environment, student engagement, technological dependence, and future relevance. It concludes that while each mode has distinctive features and value, a hybrid learning model might serve as the most balanced approach for future education. The paper references scholarly articles, educational reports, and real-world data to support the analysis.
