Benefits of e-Learning
There are many significant advantages for the student who learns online. Here are just a few to consider:
Convenience and Portability
Courses are accessible on your schedule
Online learning does not require physical attendance
Learning is self-paced (not too slow, not too fast)
You're unbound by time - courses are available 24/7
You're unbound by place - study at home, work, or on the road
Read materials online or download them for reading later
Cost and Selection
Choose from a wide range of courses to meet your needs
Degree, Vocational, and Certificate programs
Continuing Education
Individual courses
Wide range of prices to fit your budget
Go back to school to get a degree, learn a new skill, learn a new craft, or just have fun!
From art to zoology you can do it all online in a price range to fit your budget.
Flexibility
Online learning accommodates your preferences and needs - it's student-centered
Choose instructor-led or self-study courses
Skip over material you already know and focus on topics you'd like to learn
Use the tools best suited to your learning styles
Higher Retention
Online learning will draw you to topics you like and enjoy. Studies show that because of this and the variety of delivery methods used to reach different types of learners, retention is frequently better than in a traditional classroom.
Greater Collaboration
Technology tools make collaboration among students much easier. Since many projects involve collaborative learning, the online environment is far easier (and often more comfortable) to work in since learners don't have to be face-to-face.
Global Opportunities
The global learning community is at your fingertips with online learning. The technologies used give online instructional designers the ability to build in tools that take you to resources you may never see in a traditional classroom.
