Keywords:
Online learning, Face to face learning, PDF, Digital booksAbstract
Nowadays, where there is industrial development, there is also a revolution in the educational field; instead of textbooks, PDF digital textbooks are coming. Students are learning online, even if the exam is being done online. The purpose of this research was to compare online and face to face learning to examine which one has more learning and which one has more activity. For this purpose, data was collected from the students enrolled in the universities of Lahore. Data was collected from 28 students through purposive sampling. This data was taken on a 5-point Likert scale, and then the data was entered into SPSS and analyzed with mean, standard deviation and t-test. It was concluded that students prefer face to face learning learning over online learning. However, the trend of female students was seen as positive on both sides. Students face considerable difficulties in online learning, mainly due to the digital infrastructure. Internet speed is very poor in most places; it is suggested that digital infrastructure should be improved in Pakistan. Students don't have good mobile phones or tablets; the government should abolish taxes on tablets and provide cheap tablets to students to promote online learning. Quality of digital materials. should be promoted, books should be properly scanned and converted into PDF, and teachers should also be trained.
