There are now growing reactions as far as the performance of online students and traditional students. Ironically, there are now growing competition between the two students. Performance cannot be relied upon whether students are enrolled in virtual university or in traditional institution.
The performance of the two students in two different worlds matter on how good are they in attending their respective classes. The virtual students may be brighter in a particular field but the traditional student could also excel in his/her own right.
Here basic advantages both the students enjoy and it’s up for you to decide which you prefer. Do you want to choose the virtual student or the traditional one?
Virtual student advantages
1. No more traffic problems. This very true to the virtual student. Since he is only attending classes in the internet there is no need for him to ride for passenger vehicles for him/her to go to school. All he/she needs is only a personal computer at home connected to the internet.
2. The virtual students are not time-bound. They are not controlled by time but they are setting on their own time. Unlike in traditional schools students usually attend classes four hours in the morning and another four hours in the afternoon. For virtual students they are the ones who arrange their time according to their preferences and availability.
3. The virtual students are not focused on four-cornered classrooms. The virtual student can attend classes anywhere he/she likes. He/she can always do it by having a laptop computer so that he/she can roam around while attending to classes. This is also a very enjoyable situation because you can attend classes whichever place you like. You just have to bring your laptop computer with you.
Traditional student advantages
1. Traditional students can personally meet their professors in every class. The teaching program is given right to the students with the effective teachers lively giving out their discussions on the subject matter.
2. Traditional students learn more in lab facilities. This is true. Traditional students have more advantage than virtual students when it comes to lab facilities because they can have actual lab demonstrations. Virtual students have no lab facilities they could learn in other subject matters that need lab presentations such as physics, science, biology, anatomy and other subjects.
3. Traditional students physically enjoy the company of classmates and friends. They can always meet with each other and enjoy each others company while virtual students study their lessons alone.
