Evaluating the Feasibility of Online & Offline Classes

Man has been considered a social animal and there are valid reasons to support this statement. When we talk about the term “social”, it implies that the necessity to stay together, co-operate with others and understand each-other's requirements and act accordingly becomes imperative. Online education, on the other hand emerged as a savior in the recent pandemic situation where the offline education ended with its limitations. Education plays a major part to go beyond this basic requirement and develop humane characteristics to take civilization to the next possible level. In this post, we will discuss some important aspects related to offline and online learning programs and their feasibility.

The Motive

Whether it's online or offline classes, there is a common objective attached to both and that is moral, intellectual and physical development of children. However, both types of educational format have their merits and demerits but still, when compared practically, offline classes offer much diversity in developing multiple values ​​in children which online classes can't provide.

Evaluating Online classes

There is no doubt that online classes emerged as the best alternative in the pandemic situation but an alternative is always an alternative, which means it can be used when the primary resource is not available. From futuristic perspective also, investing in technologies in providing education is definitely going to pay rich dividends.

Today, online classes offer multiple programs and course which students can access without any geographical, economic and social restrictions. Moreover these are quite cost effective as well. RAK Academy, a school in Ras-Al-Khaimah adopted online like most of the other schools in the world. A single subject expert can deliver lectures to almost thousands of students who are connected online to him.

Flexibility is another advantage of online classes where students can learn and adapt according to their available and convenient time schedule. Most of the schools in RAK offer these online classes during this time. The ease of learning which is offered by these online classes is simply unmatched as students can view their lectures and classes as many times they want to grasp the concept better.

Evaluating offline classes

This has been a traditional method of teaching since ages with some modifications into the courses and programs offered via offline classes. There is an utmost requirement of developing discipline among students at an early age which allows them to be synchronized among their different tasks throughout the day. Even the top schools in Ras-Al-Khaimah believe that the current educational scenario is much better for students. Going to a particular place for learning, spending a dedicated time there and interacting with different students and teachers play a crucial role in developing behavioral changes in them.

They learn about when to do what and most importantly; how? Offline classes offer the best platform for students for learning by doing as what they see and learn can implement in their practical lives in the school campus itself and there are teachers to guide them with their each and every activity. Almost all the private schools in Ras-Al-Khaimah prefer to offer offline classes only. Making friends, sharing secrets with them, playing around the campus, developing trust and gaining knowledge goes hand-in-hand.

Hence, offline classes still have much to offer to students in terms of developing multiple talents in them as compared to online classes. To conclude with this hot topic, we would suggest that for schooling purpose, offline classes are the best source to impart education to children and online classes can be considered as an alternative for emergency times like the recent pandemic.
