To answer your question let's discuss some Pros and Cons of both traditional and online learning.

How Traditional Learning fears to be replaced    

Traditional learning has been present for ages; it includes a classroom environment with the usage of traditional learning tools like whiteboards, board markers, and notepads for students where the teacher or the instructor is at the front of the classroom, while the students occupy the remaining physical area. But after these advancements in technology over the past decades, traditional learning is becoming less effective and people are looking for alternate learning and teaching methods. Many researchers have been working on making online learning more practical and the Covid Pandemic gave that research a big boost because schools and colleges had to come up with an idea immediately to prevent the interruption in learning as millions of students were being affected. 

Now that we know what Traditional learning is, let’s talk about some of its advantages over online learning. 

1.  Promotes Interpersonal interactions. 

2.  Traditional learning demands a particular schedule and Discipline. 

3.  Learning in collaborations.

4.  Students can engage with their courseware and gain knowledge in a much more engaging manner.

5.  Costs more.

What advantages might online learning have?  

Online education transpires over the internet, and the approach aims to eliminate the shortcomings of traditional education while simultaneously giving extra benefits like:

1.  Students can learn at their own pace.

2.  Reduce dependency on teachers and supports independent learning style 

3.  Cost-effective 

4.  Provides flexibility 

5.  Students Can Revisit the Classes That Were Missed

6.  No instructional time wasted on classroom management, no need to make copies or spend money on supplies, instant computer grading of quizzes, no worry about negotiating computer lab schedules, a permanent record of all student work and instructor correspondence, and a system already established for future classes

7.  Modern education overcomes the disadvantages of primitive teaching methods and communicates knowledge more effectively and perfectly 

So, can distance learning truly replace the traditional classroom experience?

The argument over traditional vs. online education raises several concerns about the educational system. However, it cannot be denied that, when used intelligently, technology can play a significant role in education. Instead of substituting online education for traditional education, they can be combined to produce a more effective, efficient, and interactive learning experience.

For example, if students are unable to physically attend their course and school of choice in another nation, a high-tech distance learning version at home may provide a superior experience and more vocational value. Distance learning is a fantastic option for students who are unable to attend normal classroom instruction due to distance, time constraints, or other factors. Although it is relatively simple to provide theory-based lessons online, it is frequently difficult to hold practical classes online. As a consequence, applicable courses could offer in person. As a result, as technology advances, we should expect distance learning to supplement and enrich the physical classroom in increasingly imaginative and inspiring.
