The classroom: virtual versus physical

Virtual classrooms are efficient and economical for students, by saving time and money on transformational coast and the time to get to lecture. It is also very efficient for those who are sick on a particular day and for those who have physical disabilities. However, I do believe that this is a burden on human/student relationships. Even though you can learn from the virtual classes and have discussion with your professor or class mates on the discussion board, at the same time it does however push individuals towards alienation by not indulging in face to face interaction.

Already gadgets, like ipods, computers, and motor vehicles are pushing individuals into further distances of human physical interaction which in the end leaves individuals self centered and alienated. By creating a virtual classroom, it would be ideal and in my opinion should be only open to those who are in desperate need of them like; people of certain disability. In Addition, physical classroom are a primitive in creating behavioral values and norms, it provides students with ethics, team play, and people skills.
