I think education is not about learning or gathering only textbook knowledge. It's about communicating with others, discussing, group work etc. Online education means distance education. At present it is significantly spread all over the world. It has some good results too. But I like face to face education. It helps a student to build up his or her mental and physical strength besides textbook knowledge.
