The Changing face of Learning and Education

The world owes its survival and growth to change. Change is a constant in the world history and has shaped the world as we see it today, and change will be at work long after we are gone. Like every other field in our lives, even our very upbringing, education and learning that initiate change are undergoing a tremendous amount of transformation. Much of this change is purely in the way we learn and connect with our teachers or source of knowledge. The discovery of internet, coupled with advancement in the mobile devices and development of computers, has led to the setting up of a whole new world of education, learning and knowledge sharing.

Education goes online
Education, learning, research and coaching have all gone out of the realms and bounds of a classroom, thanks to the design and development of online learning modules and kits. The ideas of innovation for online training, it seems, were inspired by students who wanted to learn but the opportunity evaded them due to certain constraints, be it family, work or money. Schools are using online learning to make colorful and engaging presentations for students learning; College and Universities are designing online modules for their courses for students of distant learning and others and are making sure that these are made available to all interested students at the most nominal costs.

Many feel that online learning is only about reading presentations and submitting assignments and taking the occasional test.The most credible learning websites and degree providers also provide their students with subject matter expert contacts who can be contacted by a student via email, call or net meeting as well.



Enjoy online learning and reap the benefits With time becoming money and world becoming faster, online learning and education is becoming a preferred medium for students to get the right degree at a self-paced study. It also takes the pressure of getting dressed, showing up for classes and attendance from the students reducing high level of stress. With learning going online and internet becoming a learning medium, online learning is:

- Affordable, viable and dependable as much as classroom learning
- Interactive learning and knowledge sharing can happen over online discussion forums
- Students, Fellows, researchers have opportunity to get in touch with subject matter experts globally for any kind of assistance, questions, queries or resolutions or answers they need.
- Time, space and geographic location are not a constraint to learning
- Facilitated and only successful with will to learn and eagerness to acquire learning

Self-discipline, proactive approach and accountability become of key importance and are contributing factors to success of online learning and one’s personal growth. Make most of all the online learning support and tools you can find to facilitate your learning or degree acquisition.
