1. . Why are Sports Important in student life ?

When we talk about a student, an image of a child with a heavy school bag with lots
of books immediately pops into our minds. However, many believe that a school's
environment shouldn’t be just confined to academics. Since only reading or studying
makes children bookworm, many other activities have a vital role in the holistic
development of a student, such as sports or games, etc.

But some people, or let’s say some parents, are still struggling with the importance of
sports in students' life. They often doubt, “What makes sports a worthy investment for
students other than education?” Though studies are important, we can’t deny that
sports help in the overall development and growth of a child.

The information in this article will surely make you think about the value of sports in
students' life and regularly inculcate them in your child’s overall routine. So, let’s
check out how games and sports are going to have a major role in a student’s life.

Importance of Games and Sports in Student’s Life

For ages, sports have been viewed as a way to stay healthy and fit, but it goes beyond
that. Today, sports are essential for students' overall growth and development. Playing
various sports helps them teach life skills such as teamwork, leadership,
accountability, patience, and self-confidence and prepares them to face life
challenges.

Students get a chance to work on their physical and mental abilities to achieve goals in
their life. We can realise the importance of sports in our daily life through a variety of
national and international sports events organised all over the world where different
players represent their countries and showcase their sporting capabilities.

Additionally, the learning of a student starts from the primary level and sports help
students develop a strong mental and physical foundation from an early age. Given
below are the reasons why sports and games are crucial in a student’s life, in addition
to their academic development.

Health/Physiological Benefits of Playing Sports

The physical benefits of playing sports are countless for students. Several physical
activities can play a vital role in leading a happy and healthy life; they are as follows:
  Overall Fitness - Indulging in sports can help students prevent chronic
diseases such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, depression, anxiety, and stress,
and develop a healthy heart, improve bone density, and lung functionality. It
helps lower blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure levels as well as uplifts
mood, improves muscle strength, reduces the risk of obesity, and boosts energy
levels.
 Healthy and Fit Body- To answer “why is sports important for students?”
We can say that it helps develop healthy eating habits and prevent obesity.
Children involved in sports typically consume more fruits and vegetables and
cut off junk/fast foods. Additionally, it makes your body sweat and burn
calories that help you maintain a strong and healthy body.
 Prevent Diseases - Indulging in sports is a great way to avoid communicable
and non-communicable diseases. Sports activities have been found to have
various cardiovascular benefits, including decreased blood pressure and
improved cardiovascular fitness. It has a positive effect on sleep quality.
 Reduces Stress - Researches show that people who are more into sports are
more likely to experience higher levels of happiness compared to those who
aren’t. Aerobic activities such as running or cycling reduce stress and the risk
of mental disorders such as depression.
 Hormonal Benefits - The role of sports in students' life can be seen in the
form of endorphins, i.e. the brain's natural “feel good” chemicals or hormones
your body releases when it feels pain or stress. They are relaxed with exercises
or sports activities. When you exercise, your body releases dopamine and
serotonin which make you feel good.

Social and Personality Benefits of Playing Sports

The value of games and sports isn’t limited to physical benefits; rather, it also
contributes to one’s social and personality development. Here is how:
 Enhanced Social Relationships - The students who are actively engaged in
sports tend to develop a strong bond with other students. This is because they
have to work as a team which teaches them to enhance social relationships as
well as leadership skills for goal setting and character building. It helps them
improve their self-esteem, social interaction, and a more positive outlook on
life.
 Develops Life Skills - Playing sports not only helps in developing physical and
mental health, but it also develops the life skills of a student. Sports activities
teach students ethics, values, discipline, and a sense of mutual trust. The
sportsman's spirit helps them deal with various phases of life gracefully as well
as avoid evils such as drugs and suicide. This signifies the importance of
sports in students' life.
 Time Management and Discipline - If a student plays a sport, they must stick
to a particular timeline to perform the task following the set of rules &and
 regulations of the game. They need to be patient, cautious, and frequent in their
efforts. It ultimately helps students improve their time-management skills in
different fields of life.
 Develop Better Values - Skills like patience, teamwork, leadership, discipline,
learning from failure, etc., are developed when students are indulged in any
type of sport. These skills are equally important when it comes to study and
management. They nurture mutual respect, honesty, dedication and gesture of
appreciation, etc.

Educational Benefits of Playing Sports

Students who are actively involved in sports have higher chances of pursuing sports as
their career option. They can regularly practice their favourite sports and learn
techniques to master that sport. Apart from these, sports have great importance in
the field of education too. How?

If there is some sports activity included in students’ daily activities, it will contribute
towards their overall brain as well as physical development.

By giving equal importance to sports at the school level, the students can get early
exposure to sports activities, which would help their overall development. Earlier,
more importance was given to grades rather than extracurricular activities. But since
then, the education system has changed, and more focus is shifted towards the holistic
development of students.

Conclusion
Academic studies and athletic capabilities are associated with each other. They work
like the two sides of the same coin. Along with theory sessions, sports also have a
significant role in education. It leads to the overall formation of an individual’s
personality and contributes to their holistic development. The educational benefits of
sports are countless and aren’t limited to physical.

 2.Effectiveness of prisons/ PROS AND CONS OF PRISONS

Reform

Reform is arguably one of the most important reasons why prisons are vital.
The gov.uk website talks about providing the right services and opportunities that
support rehabilitation to prevent a return to crime. Some of the areas they mention
are:

 Improving prisoners’ mental health and tackling substance misuse

 Improving prisoners progress in maths and English
 Increasing the numbers of offenders in employment and accommodation after
release.

I would add that offenders should also be supported in learning about money and
finance, improving their confidence, developing their understanding of supportive
relationships, dealing with issues that may arise or previous traumas. Reform is
about equipping someone with the tools to successfully navigate life’s difficulties
without resorting to crime.

Life after prison is the final theme on the website and this is the support needed by
prisoners once they are released. This includes working with probation services.
They highlight the need for services that support prisoners from the transition
‘through the gate’. The main factors being employment and accommodation. When
looking at the statistics for prisons achieving their target for accommodation on the
first night following release, this is only 17.3%. When we look at employment targets
within the first 6 weeks of release, this was at 4%, which is very low. These statistics
raise concerns as to whether prison is successful in rehabilitation. Or is it merely a
punishment that puts people’s lives on hold?

Real life examples of the prison being effective and ineffective

Education

One woman I interviewed explained that none of the education options in the prison
were suitable. She already had a degree, so did not need the English and maths
classes that were provided. To her, the prison just wanted to tick a box to show
people in prison were engaging in some form of education rather than helping black
women progress and gain educational skills that were tailored to an individual’s
needs and current level of education.

However, another Black woman said that being in prison had forced her to take level
1 and 2 English and Maths. She had been putting it off when she was in society but
being in prison allowed her to take the time to do it. She passed and felt that she
would have better prospects leaving the prison than when she came in. Additionally,
she had been trained on how to clean up chemical spills and learnt all about the
control of substances hazardous to health (COSSH). Again, she learnt new skills that
she felt she would be able to use in the outside world.
Relationships

Many women stated that they could speak to their loved ones regularly on the
phone, which allowed them stay connected. However, some of the women
complained about how costly phone calls were. Also, transport to the prison was an
expense that many women’s families could not afford. Therefore, in some cases,
relationships with families were put on hold.

One woman talked about her drug recovery and explained how supportive her drug
worker had been. They helped her through her recovery and were a source of
support and consistency during her prison experience. Even when she moved onto
another wing, she mentioned how this staff member still came to check on her. She
believes if she had not come to prison, she would still be addicted to drugs. In this
case, imprisonment was effective and helped her to rehabilitate.

Another example came from a woman who said that her prison experience allowed
her to improve herself, deal with previous traumas, and come up with ways to deal
with this. She used the prison experience to identify what things triggered previous
traumas and how to deal with this, as well as living in the moment. In this sense,
sometimes prison can be used as a period of reflection and self-improvement.

Racism

The final example I want to give comes from several women that highlighted the
systemic racism they felt was occurring in the prison. The women stated that many
of the officers stereotyped them as aggressive, loud troublemakers because of their
race. This had a knock-on effect because it affected how long it took for women to
get moved from a closed prison to an open prison, be released for day visits, to work
and see family. It also meant that they felt like they could not be themselves. For
these women, prison was not effective because they were dealing with the
disadvantage of being black and female. They had fewer opportunities for
employment progression and they had few supportive relationships with staff. When
we think about examples like this, we must determine how effective the prison would
be for these women. It would be a punishment but would it help rehabilitate them or
leave them bitter, angry, frustrated and no better off than before they entered the
prison?

Criminological arguments for prisons

One argument for prison is that it is an effective deterrent. Prison can be seen as a
tough type of punishment because it takes away your freedom, potential support
networks and in many ways, it strips away your identity. The thought of prison is
enough for some people to not even contemplate committing a criminal act.
Prison sentences are also a message to the wider public that this is what will happen
if you commit a crime. Prison advocates would say this is a message to wider society
about what is right and wrong and what will happen if you commit a crime.

Additionally, prison advocates argue that prison is such a difficult time for people that
the experience should then deter them from committing any further offences.
However, we know that is not the case because many individuals who have
committed an offence and go to prison then commit further offences. This makes us
question, is prison a) effective and b) enough of a deterrence?

Another argument for prison is that by putting people in prison, we protect the public
by ensuring these individuals cannot commit any further offences. Additionally,
prison sentences provide a sense of justice to the victims affected by the crime and
the public.

Criminological arguments against prisons

The first argument would be that prisons do not work. Those advocating for prison
reform highlight reoffending statistics as an example of the ineffectiveness of
prisons.

The adult reoffending rate for the October to December 2018 cohort was 27.5%.

Almost 101,000 proven re-offences were committed over the one-year follow-up
period by around 25,000 adults. Those that reoffended committed on average 3.97
re-offences. [Source – Home Office – Proven reoffending statistics for England and
Wales, published October 2020].

Research shows that long prison sentences have little impact on crime. Time in
prison can actually make someone more likely to commit crime — by further
exposing them to all sorts of criminal elements. Prisons are also costly, using up
funds that could go to other government programs that are more effective at fighting
crime.

Additionally, there are arguments that prison does not rehabilitate prisoners. While
there are some opportunities in prison, this does not always meet the needs of the
prisoners and does not help them on their release due to the views people in society
have about imprisonment and criminal records. On release, three-fifths of prisoners
have no “identified employment or education or training outcome”. If prison punishes
people through the experience itself but then does not offer those individuals the
opportunity to improve and change their lives once they are released, can we
realistically expect people to be rehabilitated and not return to crime?

Some believe that the whole prison system is an oppressive institution governed by
the powerful that cages the marginalised and powerless. They would argue that
prison further damages people because it causes further trauma, exposes them to
further violence, reinforces disadvantage and creates further crime and social harm.
The prison also does very little to tackle the underlying causes of crime in
communities. However, some have argued that by reducing the prison population,
we are still widening the net and criminalising people, as community sentences and
alternatives to custody would be increased rather than looking at some of the
structural inequalities that may lead to crime and criminal behaviour.

Others argue that prison mainly holds those that are from lower socio-economic
backgrounds and ethnic minorities, punishing poverty and disadvantage while
protecting the crimes of the powerful. For example, where are the imprisoned
individuals from corporations that cause widespread harm, such as those that need
to be held accountable for the Grenfell Tower fire, multi-million corporations and so
on?

There are many arguments for abolishing prison, and then there are arguments that
recognise prison cannot be abolished completely but needs reforming.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime highlights some of the reasons why
prisons need to be reformed. These are:

 Human rights, as prison is a deprivation of the basic right to liberty.

 Imprisonment disproportionately affects individuals and families living in
poverty. From the potential loss of income from an individual going to prison,
lawyer costs, costs to visit and communicate with that individual, the lack of
employment opportunities when released, the marginalisation and so on.
 Public health consequences – It is argued that many prisoners have poor
health and existing health problems when entering the prison. These
problems are exacerbated due to; overcrowding, poor nutrition, lack of
exercise and fresh air. Then there are also the infection rates, self-harm and
poor mental health. The argument is that staff will be vulnerable to some of
these diseases, and so will the public once these individuals are released.
 Detrimental social impact – Imprisonment disrupts relationships and weakens
social cohesion.
 Costs – The cost of each prisoner for their upkeep, but also the social,
economic and health costs mentioned previously, which are long-term.

The Howard League for Penal Reform says on their website:

“The prison system is like a river.

The wider it gets, the faster it flows – and the harder it becomes to swim against the
tide. Rather than being guided to safer shores, those in the middle are swept into
deeper currents of crime, violence and despair. What began as a trickle turns into a
torrent, with problems in prisons spilling into the towns and cities around them.”

In conclusion, when we think about the prison, and imprisonment as a punishment

and reform option, there is a lot to consider. We need to assess the overall
effectiveness of prisons and the need for justice against the harm imprisonment can
have on an individual. We must consider the long-term impact the prison has on an
individual, not just mentally, but also considering the impact it will have on their life
chances and their ability to reintegrate into society
 3. ONLINE LEARNING VS OFFLINE

When schools and colleges throughout the world were obliged to shut
their doors in order to prevent the spread of the virus, alternate
techniques and technologies had to be implemented relatively
immediately. Online learning has evolved into a requirement rather than
a choice. Here are some changes in the education industry due to
COVID:
The Acceleration of Digital Learning
E-learning has been a part of the higher education experience for some years, but
never to the level seen during the height of the epidemic. Teaching professionals
all across the world have been compelled frequently with little notice to get
familiar with a variety of online platforms in order to conduct entire courses
completely remotely. As a result, internet platforms such as Google innovated to
fulfill this new need, swiftly adding features such as video-conferencing to their
Classroom settings service.
Accessibility and Economic Considerations
When considering the impact of COVID-19, there is an economic factor to
consider, just as there is in other businesses. The epidemic was a financial blow to
institutions, which rely heavily on international students as a source of revenue. As
the scope of the situation became clear, many prospective students naturally
postponed their enrollments or chose to study from home, anticipating that in-
person sessions were unlikely to be available for some time. This has resulted in a
monetary loss for educational institutions that produce money, such as student
housing.
Changes to the Student Experience
Those who actually moved into university dorms did not have a traditional student
experience. Isolation has often taken the role of traditional freshmen activities
aimed to enhance social connection and relationship formation. Many students’
mental health has suffered as a result of their separation from their families during
this tough period, as well as their sadness at failed academic expectations.
Universities’ responses to the crisis have been different, and as a result, the
argument over the extent to which educational institutions carry personal
responsibility for their students has resurfaced. Students who achieved scholastic
success during the epidemic faced a dearth of in-person opportunities to celebrate
their accomplishments.
Education as the Answer
Meanwhile, COVID-19 continues to illustrate the value of education. People all
throughout the world are anxiously awaiting the release of a successful vaccination
that will allow them to resume their lives as they were before the outbreak. The
work of scientists and researchers in the field of medicine now has a clear and
direct impact on individuals from all walks of life. This enhanced focus may lead
to a higher knowledge of breakthroughs in this subject in the future, as well as
revitalised respect for the work of researchers in general.

Chapter 2

Online Classes
What is Online Education?
The way education is delivered has permanently altered since the advent of
technology. In reality, online education has evolved into a flexible instructional
technique of teaching in which students may readily acquire access to study
material from the comfort of their own homes. Furthermore, online education gives
a fantastic chance for students who are unable to enroll in regular classes, as well
as assists students in determining their own study pace.
Online education instills the habit of self-discipline and performance management
in pupils while also providing them with access to an infinite amount of
educational materials. Students may simply establish their own learning speed as
long as they have the necessary equipment and access to a reliable internet
connection.
Online Classes are Convenient
The first and most obvious advantage of online education is their ease. Traveling to
another area before returning home is out of the question. With digital learning,
you may now take classes in the comfort of your own home while wearing your
favorite slippers. You can look up any videos you may have missed and catch up
on lectures later! You might even make the most of your commute time by taking
an online course on the way home on the bus or train. You only need internet
service and a PC or smartphone to get started.
Online Classes are Flexible
Not only have you saved a lot of time by not having to drive to a physical place to
attend a class, but you also have more freedom in picking the best time to study
with online courses. You might not be able to locate a face-to-face tutor to teach
you Spanish online at 3 a.m., but your possibilities are far wider. Online courses, in
the end, allow you to pursue your professional and academic goals on your own
time.
Online Classes are More Affordable
The primary benefits of online classes are significant cost savings for the
educational organization, which no longer needs to rely on reserving a physical
place to offer courses. This translates into more affordable lessons for the student.
The requirement to attend a real classroom setting soon raises your expenses as a
student. When you attend classes online, you not only save money on the
necessities like books and materials, but you also save money on food and travel
expenses.
Online Classes Foster More Interaction
Some people believe that conventional learning in a physical location is the most
natural and effective method to connect. However, this is not always the case.
Everyone is seated front and center! Those who are too afraid to ask a question in
front of the whole class can now initiate a live, private conversation with their
instructor. If a student is uncomfortable with projecting to the whole class, they can
mute their microphone or turn off their camera while still participating in the
session.

Everybody learns in their own unique way. Some students are able to work
independently, while others feel comfortable in their university community, where
they have easy access to lecturers and fellow students. The best part is that online
digital classroom platforms have been attempting to bridge such gaps, recreating a
sense of community in the virtual environment via the development of a set of
technologies that enable learners to actively engage in live sessions.
Online Learning Requires Self-Discipline
Following the previous point, being a member of a community and physically
attending sessions improves accountability. If a student does not believe they are
receiving adequate instruction, they may lack the self-discipline to be actively
involved in the teachings themselves. Moving to virtual, real-time classes rather
than merely online courses increases responsibility. Live tests, for example, assist
checking to learn in real-time, while breakout areas stimulate group participation.
These technologies promote accountability while keeping kids interested.
Online Learning Requires Additional Training for Instructors
To develop a successful online course, online classes need an initial learning curve
and more work on the part of the teacher. Instructors must get a thorough grasp of
the various methods of teaching and learn in order to avoid just reproducing the
physical classroom experience and missing out on all of the additional benefits and
tools that eLearning and mixed learning have to offer.
Online Classes Are Prone to Technical Issues
The classic drawbacks of online learning revolve around technical issues. Nothing
ruins an online lecture more than problems with audio, video, or connectivity. In
the past, students were frequently compelled to download and/or install time-
consuming programs or technologies that resulted in an uneven performance.
Fortunately, online lessons may now be accessible by just clicking a link without
any need to set up anything. Internet connectivity has vastly increased over the
world. Furthermore, people’s devices have improved tremendously What is
Offline Education?
Offline education is the conventional complement of online education and the
original mode of learning that allows students to engage with their classmates and
teachers in person on a regular basis. Offline education is unaffected by
technological concerns and gives a wonderful chance for pupils to set and stick to a
rigid routine.
Furthermore, offline education enables teachers to watch their pupils’ replies and
behavior and address them as needed. As a result, no matter how advanced online
education becomes, offline education will continue to play an important part in
students’ growth.

Less distraction
According to a study, students prefer offline instruction due to improved classroom
engagement and understanding. It is impossible for anyone to sit in front of a
screen for a whole presentation without being distracted.
Because the student’s attention span is discovered to be 10 to 15 minutes, lecturers
try to abbreviate their videos. So, with offline education, lessons go longer than 15
minutes, which indicates that these programs can capture students’ attention,
thereby harnessing the learning experience.
Interaction with students
One significant advantage of offline education is that it encourages teacher-student
interaction and extends learning beyond traditional lectures.
Interaction stimulates questions about a certain issue, which aids in greater
exploration and learning. If there are engaging sessions, the pupils’ attention span
rises as well. Furthermore, pupils who spent less time on social networking
websites had a longer attention span.
Increases student competition
As we have seen, offline classrooms improve student engagement, and when such
a dynamic environment is formed, students tend to interact with one another,
which leads to higher learning.
Researchers whose research supports a well-designed classroom competition have
discovered that it improves their learning, self-esteem, and drive.
Helps in classroom communication
In a virtual classroom, you sit alone and there is very little interaction among the
students. Communication among students is useful in many ways, resulting in
favorable learning results.
This communication is not confined to students alone but also includes substantial
teacher-student contact during the learning process.
Teachers pay attention to each student
Interaction between teacher and student is critical in the learning experience.
Offline education allows teachers to get to know their students better. Not only
that, but knowing what their students are thinking helps teachers design courses.
So there are more vistas when curriculums are tailored to the demands of the
pupils. Consider how beneficial it would be if a teacher understood the speed of
their pupils and taught them accordingly to make the learning experience go more
smoothly.
Extracurricular activities
We are all aware of the value of extracurriculars, and only offline learning can
effectively serve them. Some people feel that extracurricular activities have an
impact on academic success, yet data shows the exact reverse. The former makes
the latter better.
Another study found that adolescents who participate in extracurricular activities
for personal reasons improve their social skills by making friends and working
together.
Travelling expenses
Offline classes have their institutes at one location, and each student must get to
their destination in a unique way. This adds hours of travel and preparation time,
which is not only costly but also the time that might be used for self-study.
On the other hand, online classes allow students to create a timetable that they can
stick to, allowing them to devote more time to their studies.
Fixed schedule
There is no room for flexibility with offline classes because the times are set. Even
though the reason is unknown, there is a greater dropout rate among students who
work 20 hours per week or full time.
It might be claimed that the class timetable cannot be changed, therefore they have
difficulty managing both. According to a study, students’ attendance in online (72
percent) and offline classrooms varied (62 percent ).
Expensive mode of study
Offline study is an expensive method of study, as we previously noted because, in
addition to the tuition price, you must pay for boarding and handle the
expenditures to travel to campuses.
This is not always possible for everyone to deal with offline education; in such
situations, online classes are a preferable alternative. Even the lowest institutions
would charge a tuition price of $4000, which is in addition to all other fees.
Lack of advanced technology
Online classes are an excellent way to learn about technological advancements.
The usage of laptops or computers, as well as networking with other students
through various means, are instructing them on how to use technology and make
effective use of it.
Students who have received their education offline since the start may lack
exposure to technology, which is a disadvantage in today’s rapidly expanding
market.
Limited choice of courses
Offline studies need you to seek the appropriate institute and then examine whether
or not you are qualified to attend. Admission is also subject to their qualifying
standards. There are so many qualifications merely to get into an offline institute
that it creates hurdles to learning.
People are often unable to discover the courses they want to register in, resulting in
a setback in which they are forced to study something they do not want to do
simply due to the practicalities. Should You Choose?
Here are some key factors which will help you choose the right option for you:
Mode of Education
Teachers can simply educate their pupils using virtual classrooms when it comes to
digital classes. Students may quickly access instructional materials from any
location as long as they have sufficient internet connections. Teachers in online
classrooms have access to a variety of online learning materials, such as videos,
audio, virtual conference rooms, animations, virtual whiteboards, and live chats
with students.
Offline lessons, on the other hand, offer students with a hands-on learning
environment inside the confines of a real classroom. It enables students to
communicate intimately with their lecturers as well as actively participate in live
debates and discussions. Students can also partake in leisure activities such as art
and physical training, which add to the student’s total mental and physical growth.
Accessibility
One of the most significant advantages of online classes is their availability from
anywhere around the globe. Students may simply log in from anywhere and access
study materials from the comfort of their own homes. Apps like Zoom and
Microsoft Team have made it possible for students to attend lectures without
leaving the comfort of their own homes. Furthermore, students do not suffer any
transportation costs. As a result, online programs have the particular benefit of
providing location flexibility.
Offline lessons, on the other hand, necessitate students traveling to the site of their
academic institution. Teaching occurs in a specific place, such as a lecture hall or a
physical class.
Time Management
Students who take online programs encounter a significant time management
difficulty. Online students are frequently sidetracked by a plethora of work and
lack a healthy timetable. Because online classes allow for self-paced study,
students may lack a set timetable and succumb to the habit of procrastination.
In the event of offline lessons, students must follow a rigid timetable established
by the lecturers. Furthermore, because there is synchronous learning, students must
finish their work and assignments on time. Not to add, there is less distraction for
pupils within the walls of a real classroom, and kids learn to complete their
assigned work on time.
The flexibility of Classes
Flexibility is a major plus point in online classes. It enables pupils to determine
their own learning speed without feeling rushed. Students may easily attend classes
when it is convenient for them since they have availability to video recordings and
online reading material. It also allows pupils more time to comprehend study
material and finish work or research at their own speed.
When it comes to offline education, there is some rigidity. Students are expected to
be on time for their lectures or sessions because there are no pre-recorded films or
notes readily available to them. As a result, students are forced to adhere to a
planned and rigid timetable established by their educational institute.
Technical Issues
Technical problems are usually a barrier with online classes. Access to appropriate
technological equipment such as cameras, microphones, headphones, and laptops,
as well as a reliable internet connection, is required for online classes.
Furthermore, technological obstacles such as a sluggish internet connection or a
lack of sufficient technical infrastructure may obstruct seamless learning. Students
may have problems attending live lectures, accessing videos, or taking notes
online.
Technical problems are rarely a danger to offline classes. Students and instructors
are not expected to be extremely tech-savvy, and because most learning takes place
in the physical classroom, technological concerns are not a big concern, with the
exception of any sessions that need presentations or computers.
Practical Learning
Online education is solely theoretical and is conducted exclusively online. This
makes it difficult for pupils to participate in the practical parts of learning, which
are equally vital parts of education. Chemistry, biology, physics, art, and sports all
encourage students to be physically present in order to conduct live
experimentation or actively engage in the activity.
Unlike online classes, offline classes offer a stimulating setting that incorporates
both academic and practical components of learning. This adds to the pupils’
general intellectual and skill development. Practical learning helps you to learn and
adapt rapidly to daily obstacles and settings, as well as have a deeper grasp of
teachings.
