Since the pandemic started, there has been a shift in how students and teachers communicate with virtual learning versus in-person learning. Some students find virtual learning more convenient than in-person learning. Some teachers may find in-person learning more effective than virtual learning. Each teacher and student has his or her own perspective when discussing virtual and in-person learning. Both virtual and in-person have pros and cons of communication between teacher and student. First, let us look at the student vs. teacher perspective of online vs. traditional learning. Online learning can be more flexible for students, while on the other hand, it can be a challenge for teachers. Online learning for students helps them to adjust their classes around their own schedule and not the other way around. Online learning allows the student to be more in control, while the teacher is less in control. Most instructors like to be in-person because they can monitor their students better. Secondly, although online learning provides more flexibility for students, there is sometimes a lack of communication between students and teachers. Teachers may feel like they are giving clear instructions, but some students may feel confused. What might sound simple to the teacher, may be viewed as difficult to the student. Sometimes students can communicate better with the teacher in person, even with access. Third, when teaching online, teachers might feel like their students are not really engaged in the course and just taking the course to get a passing grade. When class is in-person, teachers can see what the students are doing and whether they are paying attention in class. Teachers like having more control. They do not like feeling like they are teaching themselves and no one is listening to them. While students may be listening, they may feel that participating is not mandatory in an online class. In conclusion, in-person learning can provide more flexibility for students. On the other hand, traditional learning is more comfortable for teachers and can facilitate more communication between students and teachers. Certain teachers are better with traditional learning and individual students are better with online learning. Teachers and students have different perspectives about online and traditional learning, and each type of learning has its pros and cons.
