These days,many university courses are offered through the internet,some people think that the online teaching has more advantage than conventional classroom teaching or lectures while others claimed there are significant disadvantages Do the benefits of YouTubeonline teaching outweigh the disadvantages?

continuous development of the digital

classroom

, because it allows them more flexibility,

while

some completely disagree and believe they lost more than they gained by

this

change. I am of the opinion that the conventional

classroom

can never be fully substituted by the digital one, and I will

further

outline my reasoning in

this

essay.

Initially

, with the emergence of the virus, people were ecstatic to have the comfort of learning from their own homes. For some who do not perform well in social situations,

this

was an ideal setting as they felt less anxiety behind the laptop than they would in a traditional

classroom

.

Nevertheless

,

this

change soon proved damaging to the structure of

students

' lives.

Firstly

, it is very hard to differentiate school and leisure time when they both take place in the same room - most probably a student's cramped bedroom. Not only that, but being secluded from other

students

and working alone greatly cuts down possibilities for different lesson structures

such

as effectively working in pairs, holding debates where

students

are inclined to participate rather than just hide behind the screen, or especially when having to give tutorials in a more practical subject

such

as science.

This

caused professors a hard time in trying to convey the knowledge to their

students

, as there is a big gap between them since they are not in the same place.

Furthermore

,

students

have been taking advantage of

this

situation and stopped challenging themselves in class, as they are quite unsupervised during

this

type of learning. The professor oftentimes has no idea who is actively participating, because it is harder to take note of that via Zoom calls or similar ways of digital meetings.

In contrast

, when

students

are in a physical

classroom

, out of respect for the professor and because of certain societal norms, they feel greater pressure to participate and be vocal in class. All in all,

while

for some

this

change has been pivotal because it made learning more adaptable to each person's lifestyle, I believe that digital learning is not for everyone and especially not for an average student with no self-control or will.
