Since more importance is stressed upon the asynchronous form ( include the completion of assignments and other activities) of studying for the evaluation of the student ultimately resulting in his/her benefit, it targets to make the students more self-dependant as it increases their discipline and sincerity regarding their studying. Timely completion of the assignments and the proper following of the progression of the course make students more serious than traditional form of studying.

Obviously, the student is impartially treated in online mode of learning. In the traditional mode of education the most powerful speaker may have the advantageous opportunity to speak which leads to partiality. There are no such concepts in the online mode of learning. The students’ view or opinion is always treated with an impartial mentality in it.
7.The Professor’s Purpose

In the two modes of education, the form of social interaction differs. In traditional mode of studying the student only get to communicate with the individuals related with the organization. In online mode of teaching the student can interact with the whole world through the internet which is, of course, more effective than the previous.
9.Individuality gets its definition
It is one of the important effects of the online education. Here the students’ individuality is given the proper value. A student; his/her own thoughts; own opinion; point of views are all treated with equal consideration which is not that much prominent in the traditional way of teaching.
Lets see what the educationist, students and consultants have to say.
