The year 2014 I majored in Information Technology and received my first Online Education class. Privacy, space, and concentration are what Online Education provided. Online Education has granted me a greater learning experience than being taught by the few lazy teachers in the past. Teachers online provide links, videos, and handout-guides for every assignment, anything needed to complete and learn the materials. Not only has Online Education granted me a higher learning experience, but also saved me an immense amount of money on gas and having the need to drive daily to class and paying for parking. Many students struggle financially, and online education has saved me a fortune. It is important to know that Online Education has affected us students in a positive way where we have the alternative to meet an Education without the need to drive daily to campus. Each year institutions’ of higher education has offered more courses that are fully online as well as more that are blended or hybrid in design format (Hoskins and van Hooff, 2005). Colleges and universities are placing greater emphasis on increasing online education offerings (Allen and Seaman, 2005).
Online Education is important to have in society, considering that technology revolves around us as a nation and is going under drastic changes every year and becoming more advanced and in which anyone can benefit in many ways. As of 2014, at least 25% of the student population at American universities and colleges had
In today's highly developed era, the whole thing is being prepared for all intents and purposes. Letters are at this time delivered all through electronic files, phone calls can be made with film over the Internet, and increasingly more persons are currently operating distantly from home. Persons no other can picture a era when communication wasn't done in a split second.
Nowadays, education becomes one of the important things in human life. Most people are aware of the necessity of a higher education. In this present day with the technology there are more options to obtain education. Besides attending traditional schools, people can get an online education. Although there is a similarity between online education and traditional education, the differences between them are more noteworthy.
Online schooling is no more considered a lesser road for acquiring a degree. In today's bustling surroundings conventional schooling is now and again impossible. People have duties of full time occupations and families that won't permit them to go to school full time for a long time to pick up an education. This is transforming online degrees into a practical better choice for some people who need a degree without putting their life on hold to do it.
Many things that before were harder and almost impossible to accomplish are now a piece of cake thanks to the new innovations that technology has provided the world with. Academically speaking, it can be said that students of different ages have benefited, since the use of the Internet provides several tools that help the academic development. Steve Lohr, who was a foreign correspondent for The New York Times for a decade and served brief stints as an editor, in his article “When the Alma Mater Ends With '.edu'”states that “Internet schools look sweet indeed. At Virtual U., there is no need for costly land, buildings or roads. There are no books, no protests, no students griping about food, parking or surly roommates. And space is never a problem. In cyberspace, there is always room for more” (1). Here, Lohr talks about the change from the limit space classrooms to the unlimited cyberspace that now is available to students. Now, anyone can choose the best time or day to take classes without worrying so much about the time it is going to take to get to an educational facility in order to obtain
Technology has changed the world today as much as the industrial revolution changed the world in the nineteenth century. People interact directly with technology in fields such as education. In the network society, many schools offer online courses providing time, distance, and place advantages for students who live far from their campus or work full time. However, these online courses bring some disadvantages, such as no social interaction, academic dishonesty, and procrastination. As a sophomore news-editorial major, David Smith, in his “Reliance on online materials hinders learning potential for students,” claims that web-based learning cannot be a substitute for on-campus classes because e-learning
Learning is more than just receiving information. Traditionally learning was to be in campus, where students would interact with one a another, there were no other ways for learners to get educated beside going to the classroom and listening to the instructor. Nowadays the Internet has brought different ways for people to receive information, such as getting education and degrees online. A few years ago online education was never thinkable, and yet it has become to reality and it is widely expanding with popularity. Online education is a type of educational instruction that delivers learning to individuals to their own homes, and it is getting very popular among nontraditional student and others. Individuals prefer online education
Technology is changing every aspect in our lives, even the way we learn. Online classes are a rapidly growing trend it today’s society. Online classes are a cost-effective substitute for traditional courses and more convenient for many, so more schools and universities are offering this option. Due to the increase in online course enrollment, people are questioning if students truly learn something from online classes because it’s not a traditional learning environment. Online classes are just, if not more, effective as traditional classes because grades have increased and online discussions provide students with the chance to interact through networking while earning a degree for less than what it would cost to enroll at the same university.
There is currently a substantial growth in the number of students enrolled in distance learning courses due to the quickening pace of our society. Student are no longer forced to drive or attend classrooms in person in order to attend classes. It is quickly becoming favored not only among parents, but also among students. Though many individuals view online learning to be a more structured environment with fewer social distractions, just as many view it to be an easier or inferior way to obtain an education. The debate among the two sides hold many interesting and valid points as to their validity. Though with the rapid change in social requirements, there seems to be a growing gap between the advantages of distance learning and traditional classroom learning.
With the surge in technological innovations in the past decade, technology has become an integral part of everyday life, including in education. Educators are constantly discovering and seeking out new ways to implement technology to the benefit of their students. One of the most critical areas in early childhood education is the development of reading, and literacy continues to be one of the most important subjects throughout all of education. This is why building that strong foundation in literacy is so important, and online reading skill development is one of the newest endeavours into encouraging this strong start.
Thankfully, the progression of technology has had a major impact on education. The implementation of education was only in a traditional setting before this advancement of technology. Currently, this has altered. With the outburst of the technology industry in the past 15 years, online education has helped people from all walks of life continue and further their education. This ultimately leaves us with a concern on the quality of the education provided. There are several things to consider when choosing which route one should pursue. Before committing to any specific degree program, one should weigh and evaluate their options based on what is important and vital to them. Despite sharing many apparent similarities, the difference between both
Becoming more fashionable among the newer generations, online learning is bringing tremendous questions to the table. Now, as students are about to embark on their school careers, they are able to choose public, private, home, or online learning. Roughly 5.5 million students are using at least one online class. Now, we ask ourselves, what is best for us and before we can formulate a decision, we must research our possibilities. Having an education is imperative and no one can thrive in life without one. While multiple kids may learn better while sitting in front of a computer and getting their assignments done on their time, other kids may learn better in an actual school. It all depends on the child. As we know, being taught by an instructor has been around for centuries, but online learning was first initiated in 1995 when computers were just starting to become a reality and having a personal computer was still a far-fetched idea, so there was little influence to endorse an online degree. As time when on online learning began to proliferate rapidly. By 1997, colleges in California were offering over 1,000 online courses; meanwhile, 6 years later in 2003, 83% of colleges offer at least one online course. As time goes on, 99% of colleges offer at least 1 online course by 2014. Based on the personal experience and other known facts, public school is the best way to turn since it offers a great deal more than online learning does. Countless schools will not recognize numerous
In the past, most college students were limited in their options regarding how they obtain their education. However, now a day’s students have various options. Students are able to choose whether they want to complete their education through online learning, rather than in a traditional classroom. As, a student is making that choice it is critical that they choose the best learning environment that allows them to meets their individual needs. When students are selecting the best learning environment there are various consideration that should be made before a decision is made. Education ourselves about the benefits and disadvantages allows us to narrow our selection between online learning and traditional classroom learning. Regardless of the choice in education type we make in order to succeed we need to be focused, dedicated, and motivated.
Education has undergone significant changes because of the development of information and communication technology over the 21st century (Lin & Jou, 2012:2). As a convenient and inexpensive way to gain knowledge while pursuing higher education, online learning, a form of training or teaching that takes place over the Internet, has been considered as an alternative to traditional classroom learning (Zhang et al, 2004). This essay will argue that even though online learning has benefit such as flexibility which could outweigh traditional learning, traditional classroom learning might still not be entirely replaced. This essay will discuss positive and negative aspects of online and traditional learning in terms of four criteria:
“UoP enrolled about 75,000 students in 2000 with around 16% enrolling in completely asynchronous online instruction” (Paulson). A study conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics noted by Lewis, Snow, and Farris in 1999 found that “. . .the percentage of colleges and universities offering distance education courses increased form 11% in 1995 to 44% in 1998” (Paulson). In addition, “It has been estimated that by the year 2003, 60% of learners in higher education will access content electronically” (Paulson). This increase shows the increase in colleges offering on-line courses but the percentage of courses that are offered on-line is still very low. Opponents stress the value of the traditional classroom educational approach and argue the lack of teacher-student interaction in the virtual setting.
Use from time to time that the world of technologies will advance so much that we can learn course through this area. Online education will change the effect of time itself. This will lead to start of benefit of how the world will transfer in another one hundred years. “On that point are increasing opportunities for scholars to earn high school credits online over the Internet without attending a regular school. Generally speaking, do you approve or disapprove of this practice?"(Sandra. M) II. Online education will help benefit student’s intellectual skills. This will improve are grades, students can work on their own time, and their less percentage of failures. (GSEI) stated that this will financing higher education, and then changing their educational skills forever.
