Amid the explosive growth of online educational resources worldwide, one perspective argues that the physical teaching and social experiences of traditional university campuses are no longer the core value of higher education; another voice insists, however, that face-to-face interpersonal interaction and campus culture remain irreplaceable soil for shaping well-rounded character and critical thinking. In your view, should university education fully embrace digitalization, or should it hold fast to its offline foundations? Please articulate your stance, and support your argument with specific reasons and examples you have observed or experienced.
