Online Courses and Classroom Teaching

Distance Education Council allowed all premier institutes in the country to offer online courses. Do you think that online education can be as effective as traditional classroom teaching ?

Not in all cases. IMO personal or classroom interaction carries more effectiveness in certain cases. GD's, Q & A done face to face make big difference.
