Abstract
This article examines the growing impact of online learning platforms on modern education systems. It analyzes the effectiveness of digital learning tools compared to traditional face-to-face instruction, highlighting both the advantages and limitations of each approach. The study explores whether online platforms are capable of replacing conventional classroom settings or should be viewed as complementary resources. Real-world examples, student feedback, and current research findings are discussed to evaluate the pedagogical, technological, and psychological aspects of online learning environments.
