Mar 11 2011: It's not which is better. It's generally agreed that face to face is ideal; however, there are situations where potential students may not have access to this type of learning, so this is an ideal opportunity to provide to those - whether it be geographic restrictions, time restriction, economic restrictions - whatever!. Anyplace anytime, at your own pace perhaps and your own learning style - an excellent way to educate the world at large. I got involved with web-based learning in the early 2000's and the technical educators at the time were very afraid of losing their jobs! Today's world is technologically hooked in and receptive to this style. I am now involved, once again, with web based training, and marvel at how far this methodology has advanced. Don't get left behind on this one folks.
