Traditional Universities vs. Online Universities
Traditional and online universities share a common goal, and that is to provide quality
education to its students that will lead to career enhancement and a degree of
completion; courses can range from certificate, undergraduate and graduate programs
or higher. Traditional universities require its students to commute to and from school or
provide housing for those students from other states and/or countries. Students who
choose traditional learning have direct contact with instructors, classmates, and other
school personnel during their times of need or extra guidance in class. Throughout a
student’s education quest, textbook and other materials must be purchased and when
class is missed students must rely on the notes of their classmates for missed
information, this can result to even more missed information if the person is a bad note
taker. In addition, in traditional universities students have larger classroom sizes that
limit one-on-one interactions with instructors also the knowledge expansion is based on
class participation. Online universities simulate traditional learning through virtual
classrooms, this learning style allows for students to adjust their work, personal, and
study schedule to fit their needs. Instead of verbal participation online learners rely on
typed responses for interaction and this method of participation is ideal for the shy
individuals who normally do not participate in classroom settings. An attractive feature of
distant learning is that students to do commute to campus and they have the opportunity
to interact with students around the world. Also most online universities provided their
students with eBooks and other types of electronic materials required to complete
courses. Traditional and online universities allow students the opportunity to attend
college; providing them the same course programs and materials used to complete
classes either in a classroom or at their home online. Today, most traditional universities
now have online programs to meet the busiest adults accomplish completed their
degrees in their own time and pace. With any school choice it is the student’s
responsibility to choose and attend a university that has received recognizable
accreditation. Both universities follow policy and procedures that students are to uphold
and obey throughout their educational endeavors. In addition both universities allow
students to attend graduation ceremonies or attend campus related functions and trips.
