text: Another reason why students do not benefit from virtual classes, is that online classes can not provide hands on learning experiences. Hands on learning experiences and field work, such as physical science experiments, allow students to flex their innate curiosity and problem solving skills. Learning with physical trial and error methods allow students to learn through experience which is one of the most effective ways of learning. Online classes, however, do not allow students to experience this. They can only provide simulations for the student which can not even come close to producing the same benefits as the real thing. Traditional schools provide this learning with activities like chemistry experiments, animal disections, and mock trials. Thus another reason why distance learning does not provide as many benefits as traditional schools.
