Lectures were used to be a way to teach large number of students, but with the technology available for education, there is no longer justification for lectures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the development of high technologies and online ways of studying the necessity of
lectures
as a way of teaching a large number of people decreased, so there are no longer arguments to visit them. I completely agree with
this
and tend to say that
lectures
are an extremely inconvenient way of learning. It is undeniable that the most common type of

conditions,
students
are used to losing their attention. They prefer to do their own business
instead
of listening to professors' new materials.
Therefore
, the percentage of new information, that can be learned during one of

lectures
is extremely low.
For example

disability to hear the teacher. With the development of new technologies, which can be used for online learning,
lectures
lost their popularity. It is much easier and more profitable to visit an online educational platform, where
students
can customise all the settings and hear all the definitions, pronounced by their lecturer. A lot of universities have already started using online platforms.
For example
, MSU uses ZOOM when it comes to teaching a large number of

.
To sum up
, there is no real proof that classroom
lectures
are still needed by universities to teach their
students
,
while
online lessons are more effective.
