‘With that we conclude our session today. Have a great week ahead!’ And that’s not some radio jockey, but your professor signing off.
Although the concept isn’t entirely new, online education’s acceptance as a diverse and powerful tool of learning is yet to gain momentum in the country. Students, of course, have by and large heard about online degrees as an option for earning their higher education degrees, particularly in the field of management and IT. Yet, many still compare it with ‘correspondence courses’ or perceive it as some obscure distance learning programme wherein they would be lost and confused, and ultimately not learn anything.
With a diverse group of fellow students to work and learn with, as compared to an otherwise dull classroom, learning online has a lot to offer in terms of resources, flexibility and culture. Platforms such as Blackboard, Web CT and Moodle even let students access power point lectures, chapter summaries, weekly quizzes/tests, links for additional reading resources, weekly discussion forum boards etc. Along with these tools, e-learning solutions now provide students a virtual classroom experience through live web casts enabling voice chat, discussions and query sessions with their professors.
