4. Pedagogical Methods Traditional learning E-learning Online learning
Flipped Classroom learning
Blended learning

5. Traditional Learning Mostly focuses on the classroom education
The teacher usually talks more than the student
Student attendance is mandatory

6. Traditionally Learning Model Disadvantages
No motivations and lack of interest in the material.
Not remembering everything from class material.
No equal chance to take part in class discussion and communicate with their teachers in front of classmates.

9. E-Learning
The physical presence of teacher was a no-brainer, and any other type of learning was questionable at best.
Then the computer evolution happened and it radically changed the learning landscape.
Some of the most important developments in education have happened since the launch of the internet.
Technology has advanced so much that the geographical gap is bridged with the use of tools that make you feel as if you are inside the classroom.

10. eLearning
Computer based educational tool or system that enables you to learn anywhere and at any time. Today e-learning is mostly delivered though the internet, although in the past it was delivered using a blend of computer-based methods like CD-ROM.
