The topic is important because it presents the need to identify the appropriate learning model that can address the learning needs of students and offer them an opportunity to maximize their capabilities in the classroom setting. The topic provides the need for students to continually be engaged in online learning settings while avoiding traditional settings to allow students to manage their time better by enabling the students to bear their responsibility of engaging fully with their courses. The topic has in the recent past been studied by researchers such as Fatima et al 2023 who have noted that students are more interested in learning in surroundings that are on-campus based than online-based settings (Fatima et al., 2023, 22). They are interested in the on-campus sessions since they feel like the online stings could be more relaxed, and they contribute to a lack of satisfaction in the learning operations. The researchers have been involved in the analysis in the way they have tried to connect the topic with a myriad of issues, such as the COVID-19 issue, the academic performance of children, and their engagement levels (Abduh et al., 1038). The researchers have identified the learning activities in both the online and the traditional classroom settings as critical in the assessment of students’ educational programs.
Besides, the researchers have demonstrated that the teaching mode significantly impacts the skills and knowledge of students engaging in learning activities. It is shown that when online learning is compared to traditional classroom learning, the students involved in online learning are presented with sufficient resources that offer them extensive resources. The researchers suggest that online learning involves the utilization of the Internet, ICT, and web-based technology to transfer and obtain information virtually through the utilization of multiple electronic mediums (Fatima et al., 22). Online learning has intensified flexibility that allows students to learn what they want regardless of their individual time and place constraints. Flexibility offers an enhanced chance for education to occur irrespective of the existing conditions within a surrounding area (Abduh et al., 1039).
However, they oppose the perception that the online classroom setting is better than the traditional classroom setting. The researchers claim that complex concepts cannot be easily understood through the exploitation of the learning platforms. Similarly, they feel like there is always a need for additional resources to be offered to realize success in the e-learning model of learning. The resources required include electricity, sufficient internet connection, and other supportive infrastructure to intensify the success of the e-learning models (Fatima et al., 24). Moreover, in the event there are internet connection and technicality issues, the online learning activities may need to be improved, decreasing their effectiveness in influencing the learning outcomes of students (Abduh et al., 1039). The opposition is an outcome of multiple research studies that have been conducted involving students from diverse academic departments, including those who are currently studying medicine concepts that have visualized difficulty in the utilization of online-based platforms. For an agreement to be realized on the topic, there is a need for more research to be conducted by considering students who are currently studying courses that have complex concepts to determine if the online platforms are effective in the intensification of student engagement and academic performance. The research is supposed to be experimental to understand the role of time limits in intensifying the outcomes of online learning operations.
