Comparing the Impact of Online Learning Platforms and Traditional Classroom Settings on Student Performance and Satisfaction

Abstract

    This study evaluated online and traditional learning for effectiveness and student satisfaction. 500 university students evaluated both learning methods. Data was quantified. Age, gender, and major were collected for diversity. Two questionnaires assessed student satisfaction and performance with online learning platforms and traditional classrooms. Likert-scale items rated satisfaction and efficacy. Online and traditional classrooms had interesting variances in student enjoyment and efficacy. Students liked online learning. Most students said online and traditional classrooms were beneficial. Online learning platforms were better at facilitating self-paced learning, tailored instruction, and a wide selection of learning materials. The findings can help educators and policymakers create and implement online learning platforms. The study also emphasizes the importance of student preferences and needs when constructing instructional tactics and the potential benefits of blended learning approaches that combine both learning modalities.
