               Education is now being more importance for our future life. For gaining knowledge, there are two types: online and traditional. Before online learning comes out, we only have traditional learning as a tool to guide our self in this world. Online learning is the new method in developing countries. First time online learning shows up is in the developed countries. Now more and more international universities in developing countries are following this method. “The delivery of a learning, training or education program by electronic means. E-learning involves the use of a computer or electronic device (e.g. a mobile phone) in some way to provide training, educational or learning material”. (Stockley, 2003). From the definition, online learning can be categorized as gaining knowledge but through using other media as the tools to deliver the information.  Children and students who write by hand learn better than those who type, a study shows. (Alleyne, 2011). From the definition, traditional learning can make student to become more remember of what they learn by writing it with their hand. With online learning, it is easier to gain up-to-date information, mobilize information that can be downloaded from virtually anywhere, and there are no boundaries of information that can be accessed anywhere. Meanwhile, traditional learning involves learning from textbooks, seating in a classroom, and direct instruction by lecturer. International universities in developing countries are now having mix between online and traditional learning. Goal was to increase knowledge (both online and traditional); student will be more in special field. Instructive kind of education from someone who expert in the subject to instruct of guide the student which is probably given better in classroom that been direct by lecturer in traditional learning. Material because of tend to be the same, for example if learning math, basic concepts are still the same and textbook are also the same.
