        abstract = {This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness and student satisfaction levels associated with traditional offline classes and modern online classes among college students. The shift to online learning, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, has introduced questions about maintaining teaching quality and student engagement. The research utilized a convenience sampling technique, collecting data from 130 college students via an online survey using Google Forms. A majority of respondents had attended online classes, showing widespread adoption of digital learning. Zoom (83.1%) was the most preferred platform for online classes. However, the satisfaction level with offline classes was higher (40% strongly agree) than with online classes. The study concluded that while offline classes are valued for promoting better interaction, clarity, and motivation, online classes offer crucial convenience and flexibility. Therefore, the most beneficial approach is the adoption of a blended learning model to enhance learning outcomes and maintain academic quality for college students.},
