National Seminar On "Adroitness in e-Content Development for Higher Education"

In fact, education and learning are interrelated concepts and this means that we cannot separate one from another. Education, on the one hand, in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research under the guidance of others. Learning, on the other hand, is the process of gaining these knowledge, skills, and habits by learners themselves, without the guidance of others. The aim of this study is to evaluate an e-learning program versus traditional education instruction through the review of the advantages and disadvantages of each, with a view to address some of the disadvantages of e-learning. The researcher used the descriptive approach to make both the comparison and the evaluation. To evaluate e-learning versus traditional learning, the researcher used three major tools; namely, SWOT analysis, Comparisons, and Questionnaire. The results of the study showed that there are significant differences between the advantages and disadvantages of both Traditional Learning and E-learning in favor of E-learning. The study recommended the use of Blended Learning (B-Learning) for it addresses the deficiencies of both e-learning and traditional learning.
