In traditional education, if you fail to pay attention, you might miss out that concept. Sometimes you might ask the teacher to repeat their words.

In online education, there is no student-teacher interaction at all. In traditional education, you make friends and built student to teacher relationships.
This will help you consult teachers and your friends to solve out your difficulties. Also, you can get one on one help if required. You develop your intellectual, writing and communication skills. Also, you learn many things like cooperation, punctuality, and discipline.
