In traditional classroom courses, students attend scheduled lectures, tutorials, or meetings run by professors or teaching assistants with a specific group of students on the university or college campus. This teaching method is highly instructor-dependent, thus creating an instructor-centered environment. Online courses, however, are typically taught via instructor-created eLearning modules, containing pre-recorded presentations along with discussions, assignments, or assessments. Students should access these components individually and not interact directly with other students during the course. The absence of direct interaction with the instructor and other students creates a more student-centered environment. This may require teachers to modify their course to make eLearning more interactive and ensure student interest and engagement. Classroom learning remains the best option at this time due to the familiarity and experience of this method. However, the situation could change dramatically with the rapid evolution of technology, as well as the continued integration of technology into our daily lives. This would allow for more effective teaching, as both instructors and students would be more familiar with online teaching
