Is distance learning worse than on-campus learning?
The effectiveness of distance learning versus on-campus learning depends on individual preferences, learning styles, and the specific course or program. Distance learning can offer flexibility and convenience for those with busy schedules or other commitments, while on-campus learning may provide more opportunities for in-person interaction and hands-on experiences. Both modalities have their own set of advantages and disadvantages, and the quality of the learning experience ultimately depends on the resources, support, and engagement available to the student in either setting.
