Abstract

The technological development and use of internet have transformed the way of providing education. Online learning is education organized remotely through web-based systems made available by connected devices like computer, tablet, smartphone etc. It consists of different interfaces such as simulation exercises, mini games, multiple choice surveys, puzzles etc. Interestingly, due to recent global pandemic hit, education system worldwide has to find new options of learning either by identifying an alternative to traditional education system or switching to online education system. The sudden change and lack of social interaction, loss of interest, and lack of in-person guidance from instructors 155 make learning very difficult in certain subjects, especially those which require practice. Further, due to lack of IT infrastructure, it appears that instructors and learners are facing many challenges including technical issues, lack of motivation, incomprehension etc. The aim of this paper is to understand which option between online and traditional education provides more satisfaction to learners and which is a better way of learning. Quantitative methodology is used on primary data collected through a questionnaire and analysed through EViews using chi square test. Grounded on behaviourism and sociallearning theory, the findings support traditional form of education over online education.
