Face to Face and Distance learning both have their own pros and cons. The difference between the two comes in when asking what is actually distance and face to face learning? There are so many aspects to both but simply put, Face to Face learning is where you attend on campus classes on a daily basis and have your lectures at specific times and days and distance learning is where you complete your studies at your own pace and time.
Because distance learning is broad in that there are different ways in which one can complete their studies through this type of learning, we are all not aware of the various ways in which distance learning can be referred to. Below is a brief breakdown on some of the ways in which one can complete their studies through distance learning.
Online Learning: Students complete their studies online, where they have 24/7 access to their studies via an online portal, what is offered would be dependant on what the specific institution is providing.
Part time Learning: This is where students combine face to face and distance learning together by attending classes in the evening or weekends while still completing studies out off campus
Blended Learning: This combines face to face learning with online learning
Self Study: This is when students complete studies solely on their own without the support of a tuition provider.
In my blog I am going to focus more on Online Distance learning and Face to Face learning and compile a comparison of the two. Below I have created a table that briefly explains some of the differences between Face to Face and Online Learning, I will be going into more detail about these further into my blog and provide a pros and cons breakdown of these.(sacob)
