Question

This chapter addressed computer-delivered training.  Let’s discuss the pros and cons of that method, as opposed to face to face traditional training.

(Of course, all of you taking this course have distance learning and traditional classroom experiences to compare, but as schedule flexibility is usually cited as one of the main advantages to e-learning, and most of us have prescribed schedules at work, that probably is not applicable to this discussion.)

What work-related tasks do you think would be appropriate to be delivered electronically, and what types do you feel would be better delivered in a more traditional setting?  Please feel free to use any real life examples (keeping specific anonymous) you might have encountered, and be sure to follow the guidelines.

Explanation / Answer

We are taking the example of art of photography which mainly consists of two sub-par namely-

Now lets imagine a course about learning both of these.

A traditional setting would work much better for the former sub-part i.e, clicking the photograph since it's a real world scenario because it involves a lot of physical movement and positioning of objects in 3D space such as subject, foreground, background, lights, etc. These tactics could be learned much better in a traditional setting.

Moving on to the next sub-part i.e, post processing /editing. It involves most of the work to be done on the computer such as adjusting exposure, color correction, color grading, cropping, etc. Since these skills has to be learned on a computer. The e-learning setting is more suitable for this part because the teacher can simply use a screen capture program and record the e-lesson and distribute it among all of his/her students. And since this part of photography learning does not involve any real world scenario. The student and teacher both will get benefitted in terms of productivity and flexibility.
