The argument of whether or not a classroom setting or an online interaction would make a difference to a students learning is a big question being asked today. The main argument is that the material being taught is not any different, just the environment is. One would say being in an isolated room might be an advantage, while another would say online lectures are just as useful. However, online students in terms of technology, depends on the preferred learning style of the student.

With the use of online technology, students have more time to think about answering questions. This allows them the option to interact with classmates and with those who might not connect with socially.
