|
|
Traditional Learning |
e-Learning |
|
Classroom Discussions |
The teacher usually talks more than the student |
The student talks at least as much as or more than the teacher |
|
Learning Process |
The learning is conducted with the whole class participating; there is almost no group or individual study |
Most of the learning process takes place in groups or by the individual student. |
|
Subject Matter |
The teacher conducts the lesson according to the study program and the existing curriculum |
The student participates in determining the subject matter; the studying is based on various sources of information, including web data banks and net-experts located by the student. |
|
Emphases in the Learning Process |
The students learn “what” and not “how”; the students and the teachers are busy completing the required subject matter quota; the students are not involved in inquiry-based education and in solving problems, but rather in tasks set by the teacher. |
The students learn “how” and less “what”; the learning includes research study which combines searching for and collecting information from web data banks and authorities on the communications network; the learning is better connected to the real world, the subject matter is richer and includes material in different formats. |
|
Motivation |
The students’ motivation is low, and the subject matter is “distant” from them. |
The students’ motivation is high due to the involvement in matters that are closer to them and to the use of technology. |
|
Teacher’s Role |
The teacher is the authority |
The teacher directs the student to the information. |
|
Location of Learning |
The learning takes place within the classroom and the school |
The learning takes place with no fixed location |
|
Lesson Structure |
The teacher dictates the structure of the lesson and the division of time |
The structure of the lesson is affected by the group dynamics. |

Discussion occurs in both traditional and e-learning. In traditional learning a teacher asks students questions. The instructor calls on students or asks for volunteers, and students respond orally. In an e-learning, a teacher posts questions for each unit to a discussion board. Students are asked to respond both to the teacher's questions and to other students' answers. They may post answers at different times. Traditional discussion has the advantage of immediacy. Online discussion allows for increased thinking time and greater participation.
