Dear all, I am Dr.Vardendra Kulkarni. I belong to group 2 in the debate. Here are my inputs “against the motion”

E-learning is a waste of time & resources due to the following demerits:

• Unmotivated learners or those with poor study habits may fall behind

• Lack of familiar structure and routine may take time to get used to

• Students may feel isolated or miss social interaction thus the need to understanding different learning styles and individual learner needs.

• Instructor may not always be available on demand

• Slow or unreliable Internet connections can be frustrating

• Managing learning software can involve a learning curve

• Some courses such as traditional hands-on courses can be difficult to simulate

• No self-discipline in the learning process

• No face-to-face interaction between the trainer & the student

• Lack of flexibility in the module

• Lack of input from trainers

• Slow evolution of the learning process

• Good e-learning is difficult to achieve & requires elaborate preparation

• Lack of transformational power.
