The model that required face to face communication from school with the teacher coming to class sessions during periods. A conventional model.
2. Electronic model.

As the world has evolved and communication technology and information have opened the world. In contrast, education had also developed and taken this approach to learn. This is what differentiates this model from the two above. on the one hand, teaching materials are freely available online and uploaded instantly when available. Students can use all the material provided for self-study.
