The COVID-19 pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide, leading to the near-total closures of schools, universities and colleges.Some 1.5 billion students , close to 90% of all primary, secondary and tertiary learners in the world ,are no longer able to physically go to school. Many school systems are turning to technology as an alternative to in-school instruction. Classes have gone online,it opens a newer horizon in education system.So,is online learning the future of education?
This may work in some areas, but in other areas you need laboratories, supervisors, friends, projects that require expensive equipment. For example, medicine, it is not provided there to conduct practical exercises remotely.
Online learning has been and will continue to be around.. but will not be the only mean of education since it cannot be applicable to all fields of study; meanwhile, it cannot give the same benefits that are given by live classes as regards many study fields.

Online learning is one of the teaching methods. I think that we will soon return to the narmic method of teaching at universities. It is worth using both forms of teaching.
I agree with Waldemar Łasica , despite I like online learning, but I think that the best way to learn in universities is the blended learning (e-learning + face-to-face learning)
I believe that online methods are a modality, which can contribute together with face-to-face activities. In this sense, one possibility could be blended learning, which combines different modalities. With flexibility, it may be possible to continue activities and reach the majority of students. At the same time, governments should create mechanisms that enable all students to have access to the internet, reducing exclusion.
Well, I am not sure about that but it worked during this pandemic
it depends on level of the technologies. it seems that for thesis defences the online tools work properly. I think some more and more activities can be moved to online platform. Even the conferences became now more scientific the before it was used in some cases as opportunity for tourism:)
It all about high tech and type of education, what can be in business or literature might be impossible in engineering and health practic
The world wide web has helped make learning an enjoyable, multimedia experience. Although some argue that the remote nature of the web can isolate us, as it reduces the need for face-to-face contact, online learning with FutureLearn is an inherently social experience based around online conversation. Fifty per cent of the learning on our platform now happens on mobile devices.
The integration of digital technology into education has had a profound impact, opening up distribution globally and allowing flexible, on-demand, around-the-clock services for learners. It also connects us to vast stores of information. There is definitely a steady move towards digital education, and I expect to see more universities adopting a blended approach of traditional and digital education delivery. But I don’t see online learning completely replacing the lecture theatre any time soon. The campus experience offers so much, and we’re seeing online learning supplementing traditional education, not replacing it.
Yes it seems so
current situation made us realise the importance of on line teaching even more in crisis like pandemic corona
At the same time importanCe of physical books and libraries cannot be ward off completely as they have been playing pivotal roles in human learning
They will always stay as an essential need of education ,for all time to come Zubair Ahmed Ratan air Ahmed Ratan
It will be a balance between online and full time classess,so that we will be ready for future.

I hope the above link will give you the answer.
Dear Dr.,
The following article contains many good points about the future of education.
Like Mr. Sergey Pushkin I think the new tecnologies are of great value, but with limitations. The personnal contact, supervisions and relationships are not replaceable. It will be very important to find the balance between full time classes and e-learning. This will be the Right way in the future.
O processo educativo, geralmente, depende da interação, ou seja, depende de relações bem organizadas entre o ensinar e o aprender. Seja a relação entre professor e estudante, livro didático e estudante ou computador e estudante é necessário que a interação seja bem organizada. Além disso, para cada tipo de conteúdo a interação nunca será igual; enquanto para alguns conteúdos o livro didático pode ser boa interação para outros é necessário outro tipo de interação. O mesmo ocorre com o aprendizado on line, ou seja, não é possível garantir que todas interações possam ocorrer nesta tipo de modalidade. Neste sentido, em tempos de pandemia, onde é necessário utilizar ferramentas on line para garantir a presença da escola na vida do estudante, é preciso selecionar os conteúdos que melhor possam ser adaptados a metodologia on line e prover a melhor interação possível. Também é necessário garantir aos professores e estudantes os meios e os recursos para que possam ocorrer boas interações on line. Destaco ainda que a mediação on line não deve ser em massa, onde um professor atender muitos estudantes, mas deve ser organizado número de estudantes por professor que seja condizente e possa ser garantida a qualidade na mediação.
Thank you for the important discussion, we need to evaluate the experience during COVID-19 pandemic to see the place of online education in the field of education, more research is needed
One cannot teach as planned every time because you have to analyze the learner for their responses such as facial expressions which reflect their understanding most of the time. This is absent normally in online learning. It can be used as an auxiliary tool for specific conditions such as long distances. Hence, it would be better if a blend of both in which more face to face and less online will become a good approach.
yes, I agree with Surajkumar and other colleagues that learning in covid19 conditions can apply, but in normal learning, many other things will play a role especially in the practice of physical education learning, where the core of learning unites action and theory in one subject , or how can there be input from colleagues to do good physical education practice learning especially at the university level?
I agree that in many areas of education on line learning cannot replace the traditional one. Natural circumstances for true feedback are necessary. Otherwise, the technological culture of education with its functional character may affect seriously the communicative learning, and the results of overusing online strategies can lead to many disorders in e. g. psychological development , particularly in children who are too much exposed to too many stimula.

I do not think that online learning will replace the traditional learning, of course, it can be used more often than so far, but the aspect of communication understood in Habermass way still is important. On line learning is not enough to obtain communicative skills usefu l in real life.
Home schooling is on the rise in my area and within my family. Previously children spent 2-3 hours per day in transportation alone.
Of course, it supports self-learning, problem-based, and team-based learning
Much time will be saved and lessened spoonfeeding
Online learning could work for some courses but could not work for others. However, we have to admit now that there is a replacement to the face-to-face class learning to be considered whenever needed.
In my opinion, much of the education in many countries of the world will be based on online learning, but there are skills and agility, which can only be learned for example in a laboratory, in an operating room or manual skills that require knowledge in handling equipment, ie some of the knowledge can be built in an online interaction and another will have to be face to face.
Nowadays, I do both online and face-to-face teaching; I prefer the latter one, feeling comfortable with the face-to-face communication and interaction with students.
In light of COVID-19 impact on people’s lives, there are raising concerns regarding shutting schools and universities. Since technology has been a reliable source of learning worldwide, a closer look at online educational platforms shows that online learning is a resilient system to face the unpredictable results of schools and universities' closure. Calls have risen to contain the Corona Virus; correspondingly, The Ministries of Education worldwidd have adopted online learning as a flexible tool to close the vulnerabilities that arise on the surface due to the educational institutions' closure. It is highly recommended to rely on online learning during necessity times because it has proven to be a successful system.
