​In picture A, there are two teenage students sitting at a table whereas, in picture B, there are two mature students and a teacher.

In picture A, the girl on the left is using a laptop and the boy on the right is looking in a textbook.

In comparison, in picture B the woman on the right is using a computer and the teacher is looking at the screen over her shoulder. There is a man on the left who is also looking at the woman’s screen. The students in picture A could be in a library. They may be researching the same topic together or working on a project together. They are working independently outside the classroom. By contrast in picture B the students seem to be in a classroom learning practical computer skills with the teacher on hand to help and answer questions.
