My point of view "opinion" :






There are significance differences between traditional classroom and distance learning . Distance education is more flexible to deal with student ,and we know the good thing is that we can learn any time any ware ,so nothing will be missed  Actually , we hope to see an obvious  result  to judge between two different ways of learning .AS we see from those two studies learning  can approach to the learner earthier you are near or far In my opinion, technology is better with these days 21th .

I like what the study mentioned about collaboration learning .They give example about how can student work together and do they assignments and projects without closing the browser .
