When I took my OW class I got an old-fashioned thing called a "book". I also already had another book about diving, which I had read before the class started. Based on that I can't see how eLearning could have an advantage over a traditional class in terms of learning the material. OTOH, I see a significant advantage with the traditional classroom setting since you have the same ability to learn the material on your own together with the chance to have it explained by an instructor, plus the ability to ask specific questions and get answers tailored for you. I think there's also a great deal to be said for having several pool sessions for learning and practicing skills.I have never done well in classroom environments.
