Traditionally, we all believe that true learning happens in the classroom.

However, over time, the trend is shifting towards more virtual teaching and
learning. This can only be done with the advent of e-learning through online
coaching portals. While it is true that the two cannot replace the other, there are
certain factors where a comparison of the two will help you understand where
learning is more effective.
Most students agree that one factor that affects their learning is the
attention they receive from the educators. While it is impossible to state whether
the level and quality of attention is better in the classroom or online learning,
some generalizations certainly exist. It is a known fact that a conventional
classroom has a student-teacher ratio of 25:1 at the minimum. Such a proportion
leaves little room for individual attention for each student. Classroom education,
therefore, focuses on group attention, where individual doubts and clarifications
may take a back seat. E-Learning, on the other hand, powered by online tutoring
portals ensures individual attention to each student by offering personal tutors
and one-to-one learning. Therefore, when it comes to attention, e-learning offers
better consideration to the students.
Another factor that impacts the learning of students is the quality of
educators. Unless expect tutors or teachers assist students, improvement in
grades remains a difficult task. Again, while it would be unfair to generalize,
however, it is an established fact that most schools have very limited subject
matter experts. This is to say that a school may have an upper limit of 5 expert
teachers per subject to help students fix their grades. Online tutoring portals are
bridging this gap. They generally have a vast panel of expert tutors from diverse
fields of knowledge.
