Online College vs In person College

  This image represents the differences in the viewpoint of online learning.

However, when it comes to whether students believe that they actually learn better in an online setting than a classroom setting, the number of students is low (26%). This further reinforces the point made in my paper (an online environment for learning is too comfortable for students which interferes with their ability to learn properly).
