When students come to the classroom, the focus shifts from passive absorption of information to active learning through discussions, collaborative exercises, and problem-solving tasks guided by the instructor.

Programs now frequently offer asynchronous online lectures, digital coursework, and interactive modules, complemented by optional or periodic face-to-face sessions—often scheduled during weekends […]
