E-Learning or Virtual Learning ?

what type of learning more effective ?
E-LEARNING?
or
VIRTUAL LEARNING?

If I can choose, I prefer to use ELECTRONIC LEARNING or E-LEARNING rather than using VIRTUAL LEARNING environment. In my opinion, this type of learning not only gives the BENEFITS to the students, but also to the INSTRUCTOR or LECTURER. But how?

  1. I believe that many student will get sleepy when the LECTURER or INSTRUCTOR ask them to open the text book. Am I right? But .....by using E-Learning, the method of teaching become more interactive. So, it indirectly can attract the student to learn !

  2. The lecturers also can get MORE AND MORE INFORMATION from the net! So, they can varying the ideas when they are teaching !

  3. Interaction between students and lecturers become more appropriate. When students are sharing their problems with teachers, since it’s not face to face they fear less and can ask their problems freely. For example, the student can ask or discuss about their problem through the Instant Messaging (IM) with their lecturers !


However, E-learning also has its own benefits and limitations ..as well as pros and cons ! So, all you need to do is ..USE IT WISELY :)

SCENARIO

have you involve in any one of this type of learning (e-learning and virtual learning) and which type of learning do you prefer ?
