="The classroom: virtual versus physical"= E-learning is a new way for students to have the classroom experience without having to be physically present in a classroom. E-learning is slowly being introduced to many Ontario schools through Distance education. E-learning creates solutions for people because they do not have to travel outside their home to receive education. Moreover, you will learn at your own pace and convenience to your schedule.

E-learning creates problems because you do not have the same in class experience. The only interaction you have with your professor or students is online. The lack of interaction does not help when it comes to collaborative assignments. Group work becomes extremely hard to execute. Students may have a difficult time staying committed to an e-learning environment because they do not have to be physically present in a classroom. Staying committed to this kind of program can be harder than a physical environment.
