Online vs Classroom Learning: Which Study Option Is Right for You?

Making the decision to further your education is a big career step. The next critical choice is deciding exactly how you want to learn. Will you choose the traditional classroom or the modern online environment?  

Here is a breakdown of the two delivery modes to help you decide. 

• Flexibility versus Structure. Classrooms offer a rigid routine with set times and physical locations you must attend. Online learning removes these barriers completely. You can study on your commute, during your lunch break, or after the kids are asleep. The classroom comes to wherever you are.
• Self Paced versus Scheduled Learning. Traditional classrooms require everyone to learn at the exact same speed. Online platforms empower you to control your learning pace. You can move quickly through familiar topics and spend extra time absorbing more complex subjects. 
• Suitability for Busy Adults and Parents. Balancing full time work and family commitments is tough. Online learning is built specifically for this juggling act. It gives you the freedom to improve your career without giving up your current income or precious family time.

Kaye Amos-Fleming, UNE Partnerships Education Manager, explains this shift perfectly: “Modern education has to adapt to the student. We see incredible results when busy professionals are given the freedom to fit study around their lives, rather than trying to force their lives around a rigid study schedule.”
