Giving lecture in auditorium to large number of students is an old way of teaching. With the technology available today there is no justification for it, and everything should be done online. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your own opinion.

There are various methods of teaching for teaching staff to adopt including practical lessons,

lectures

, online, presentations, seminars, etc.

However

, the method of teaching to be adopted depends on the type of

students

being taught as well as the

teacher

's personal experience with the particular method of teaching. Listening to a lecture for excessive periods of

time

can be boring for many

students

, which is why most

students

seem to dislike the idea of

such

old teaching styles.

This

has to do with the carrying out of the same task for long periods of

time

. The lack of breaks reduces concentration levels in a person.

Lectures

also

require

students

to be sitting down for quite a while, which can be straining for the back muscles, again making the

students

lose concentration.

This

can be counterattacked by the adoption of online teaching methods.

matter. Another problem with

lectures

is that some

who reside significantly

. They may

and the problem of travelling wouldn't be a factor for

students

. Travelling expenses would

be cut down, which the

could perhaps use for other personal uses

such

as paying rent or utility bills.

Further

advantages of online learning include the wider scope of resources.

For example

, the lecturer could upload teaching material on a cloud platform on the internet rather than printing hard copies for each

student

.

However

, there are a few disadvantages of online education as well. A

student

could lose concentration immediately, once given access to the internet.

This

is because the internet contains multiple distractions

such

as social media or even computer games. One solution is that

students

can set focus assists to help them stay focused during class timings. Another disadvantage is that teachers of older generations would not be
