the online educational materials. The biggest advantage it has is that the kids have access to multiple videos and animations which makes learning easy for them. Visually looking at the diagrams in 3D helps the kids to make complex things more understandable.There is

. Another major advantage is that these educational materials are available across multiple platforms like mobile, tablet, laptop, making them easily accessible for everyone at any place and time.The only disadvantage of online learning is that the kid is deprived with the whole experience of a classroom learning.

printed with educational materials. The biggest advantage is that kids can mark important parts of the book very easily and can easily refer to them at a later point. Some studies show reading the materials through books and marking the important points helps a lot to registering things in mind.The disadvantages include the books been expensive and only a limited amount of information is given in a course book, leaving no room for extra research on a topic.
