Classroom/face-to-face settings have been more popular than self-paced learning, where people could study themselves. As the demands of life increase and the internet and other technological advancements take place, self-paced learning has become more popular as education shifts from the traditional models to the Internet. Self-paced learning means you can learn in your own time and schedule. You don’t need to complete the same assignments or learn at the same time as others. You can proceed from one topic or segment to the next at your speed, meaning you can focus on things that you find challenging and breeze past things that you already know.
