classroom learning

Education in person

Classroom learning is education that takes place in a physical classroom setting, with students and an instructor present together.

The term usually appears in contrast to online learning, distance education, or self-directed study: The program combines classroom learning with hands-on field experience.

It implies structured instruction, scheduled sessions, and face-to-face interaction.
