5. Study the notes for the essay below and write a conclusion
in about 100 words.
A comparison of classroom learning with internet-based
teaching.
a) Reasons for increasing use of on-line education:
cheaper if large numbers involved
allows students to study in their own time
students do not have to travel to university
b) Reasons why classroom based education remains
popular:
c) Discussion
students can be part of group; receive support
and advice; learn from colleagues
students have face-to-face contact with a teacher
is seen as traditional and effective
can a solitary student in front of a computer enjoy
the same learning experience as a member of a
class?
pressure of numbers in universities makes more
on-line education likely
is internet learning really a new method of
education? Distance learning has been popular
for many years (e.g. Open University)
