Abstract

The rise of online learning has disrupted traditional education systems worldwide, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This article explores the impact of online learning on conventional classroom based education, with a focus on the advantages, challenges, and long-term implications for both students and educators. The study highlights how online learning platforms can provide flexible and accessible learning opportunities but also emphasizes the challenges related to student engagement, quality control, and technological disparities. The article further discusses the role of hybrid education models in blending online and traditional learning methods to offer a more inclusive educational experience.
