Lockdowns due to the COVID pandemic in last three years (2020-22) has played a significant role in the widespread of online based classrooms using applications like Zoom, MS teams, Webex and Google Meet. While substantial amount of the students were happy to complete their semester classes in due time without getting hampered by the lockdowns, thanks to the online based classrooms, there are also notable amount of students and parents who were complained regarding the online based classrooms that they have drastically distracted the academic performance of students.
Overall, I would like to leave it as an open-ended question. Dear researchers, what you think regarding the online based classroom? Is it an advantage for students or a disadvantage?
Speaking from my perspective as a class room teacher, in my opinion, on line learning is less desirable than face to face teaching. in a class room a teacher ahs more control and can see what all students are doing at any one time, but this is not possible online. Also students miss out on interaction with classmates. It is more difficult to have group discussions, and stand over a student while he or she is writing and see how their work is progressing. Students prefer to be in a classroom.
Online-based classrooms are necessary for circumstances where the learners and teachers feel that the knowledge can be catered to without meeting in person. It is an opportunity for learners to learn at their doorsteps. Nonetheless, online classes are not as effective as offline classes for many learners who take education as a social process where peer learning, group dynamics, and interpersonal relationship are of high importance. Online class doesn't provide the experience of personal interaction while learning.
Everything has two sides dis/advantages. Please look at Table 3 and Table 4 of the attached file.

Have similar opinion in regard to this, it has merits as well de-merits, however based on my personal experienced with my own students, I would rather say offline/face-face is more desirable and more productive than the online classes in various aspects.
