Abstract
Evolution of new technologies introduces new methods by which students can gain knowledge and professors can impart it. Each learning method offers its own distinctive advantages and disadvantages which affect students having different learning preferences and temperaments in different ways. The study aims to investigate student's attitude towards two modes of learning, namely traditional learning and e-learning and uncover the underlying factor structure governing student appraisal of such systems. The aspects of each type of learning that are attractive to students are shown. Further, the two modes of learning are compared using different statistical techniques, and the findings are used to decide whether a mixture of traditional and e-learning is indeed the way ahead.
