Explanation / Answer

Online Courses are great, I fully support Online Courses which are available in our day to day life.

E-Learning

Face-To-Face Learning

Pros

1, There is Flexibility of time, location, number of people with E-Learning.

2, Cost will be lower for E-Learning. E-Learning allows you to learn from anywhere.

3, E-Learning allows you to take full advantage of your time and get things done when you wouldn’t normally be able to.

4, E-Learning will increase the Computer proficiency/knowledge for users.

1, There will be direct interaction with the teaching staff, so that communication gap will be good.

Cons

1, Sometimes learners with low motivation can quickly fall behind in an online course.

1, There is no flexibility with Face-To-Face Learning.

2, Cost will be little bit higher than E-Learning, which includes transportation also.

As you said, just now I went into MOOCS site (http://mooc.org/) and I think it is awesome. Yes, I really consider myself to enroll in MOOC.

As I like E-Learning rather than Face-To-Face Learning, I am interested to enroll in MOOC. Important thing is that, MOOC is providing free E-Learning (as I read in MOOC site) and there are no limitations for age, location, gender, technology.

Right now, I am learning SAP technology through E-Learning and of course it is very comfortable for me as there will be good environment during classes (as you mentioned as a question).
