This study examines the advantages and disadvantages of offline (face-to-face) and online learning in the modern educational environment. Offline education allows direct interaction between teachers and students, providing immediate clarification, personalized feedback, and opportunities for social and communicative skill development. It also promotes discipline through fixed schedules. However, offline learning is limited by rigid schedules, restricted access to extra materials, and potential travel difficulties. Online learning, on the other hand, offers flexibility, accessibility, and a variety of multimedia resources that cater to different learning styles and individual needs. It removes geographical barriers and reduces costs. Despite these benefits, online learning may reduce learner engagement, limit social interaction, and pose challenges due to technological issues or lack of motivation. The effectiveness of each method depends on the learner’s needs, learning environment, and available resources.
