Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly transformed the modern educational system. Online learning has become increasingly widespread, particularly following the global COVID-19 pandemic, while traditional face-to-face instruction continues to serve as the primary model in many institutions. This study aims to compare online and traditional learning in terms of flexibility, interaction, cost efficiency, and practical skill development. The paper analyzes student preferences and examines the strengths and limitations of both approaches. The findings indicate that online learning offers greater flexibility and accessibility, whereas traditional learning provides stronger interaction and improved practical skill acquisition. The study concludes that integrating both methods through blended learning may provide the most effective educational experience.
