good title for a paper on traditional and online learning?

Online and traditional learning
You might possibly find that it's easier to write the paper first, and then assign a title to it once you've written it - because at least then you'll know what it is that you're putting a title to. On the other hand, if you decide what the title's going to be first, make sure that the paper delivers what the title promises. What's the actual purpose of the paper? Is it to deliver an objective critique of the pros and cons of the two techniques? If so, "A Comparison of Traditional vs Online Learning Techniques" would probably do. But you do actually want whoever is going to assess it to WANT to read what you've written, so if the tone of the content is going to be less than completely formal then maybe something a bit snappier, like "Tomorrow's Teacher: Man or Mouse?". If the essay isn't going to be an impartial comparison but a description of why one technique is convincingly superior to the other, you should indicate that in the title, for example "The Online Learning Revolution" if you're praising it, or "The Pitfalls of Online Learning" if your premise is that it doesn't work. The title should set both the reader's expectations of the work that is to follow as well as the style in which it will be presented, so set aside enough time to give it some thought.
