So, what's better than full-time distance learning? Let's examine this
Distance
learning has its niche optimum application, which must be well
understood. In this niche, there are certain limits. Within these
boundaries, the appropriateness of the use of distance learning - is not
in doubt, and its efficiency and performance - is much higher than
full-time.
("Efficiency" - the ratio of the results to the effort. "Effectiveness" - the ability to produce results.)
Difficult
to teach remotely, for example, swimming, driving, or driving down the
nails, but a huge number of skills is best just to teach remotely.
Development
of distance learning technologies began with the development of
computer technology, and communications. Modern technology allows the
teacher and student to freely communicate without personal meetings and
visits. Such communication is carried out, as in the "on-line" (with the
simultaneous presence of both the Internet), and "off-line" (through
correspondence). Distance learning much in terms of time and effort, and
money to the students. This is useful both for students and for
teachers. This improves the efficiency of training.
It
is a harmonious combination of modern technology and the efforts of the
teacher - provides a significant increase in the efficiency of
learning. Therefore, people who are trained on e-learning programs
(remotely) showed better results achieved in the lives of more than are
being trained in the classroom full-time.
Comparison
of distance education with full-time for each of the options, allows
you to get a complete picture of all the features and benefits of
e-learning:
1.UDOBSTVO TRAINING
Classroom Learning:
Often
people are not able to select the desired program of study of their
full-time options, since they do not exist, or they do not fit on the
place, time, schedule, cost, quality.
Realizing
that education in a particular case is not available to the student,
many no longer even find ways of learning, while the speed of technology
development requires continuous learning throughout their lives.
Moreover, continuing education should be convenient, efficient and economical.
DISTANCE LEARNING:
Many
people (especially burdened by work and family commitments) can not sit
at a desk every day for several hours a day in a certain place on a
tight schedule. Distance learning gives everyone the opportunity to
acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, abilities on the job, home,
family, without breaking their plots and plans.
Distance learning is convenient, economical, efficient, effective. Full-time - quite expensive.
2.EKONOMICHNOST
Classroom Learning:
Full-time
training requires travel. Transportation costs often exceed the cost of
the training. The time spent on the road, often exceeds the duration of
the training. When you want to add to that the price at the location of
the school, such training is too wasteful exercise. Time is no less
valuable asset than money. Time - capital that is not possible, nor save
for the future, not buy. You can either use a rational or irrational.
The group meeting in the classroom on a tight schedule - this is
inefficient use of time, money, effort.
DISTANCE LEARNING:
Savings
in distance learning is how to save money and to save time, energy and
nerves. Learning to remotely person is free from traffic stress, and
road fatigue. Cost of distance learning is less full-time in two or more
(up to ten), and the rate of training - is much higher.
Modern technologies make it possible to grade and quality control of training, even better than the full-time training.
3.ORIENTATSIYA on interest Educational
Classroom Learning:
Man
forced to learn to set over the rigid schedule, often goes to a state
of fatigue, when not to in order to learn where the information is not
perceived (after work, evening, etc.), and on schedule, when it is not
perceived ( people can effectively learn a half-hour, but not half a
day).
The
full-time teaching unavoidable absences, and the irreplaceable loss of
important knowledge units. Miss one or more classes, such as illness, a
student misses an important and necessary key information, and
hopelessly behind. Often such irreparable gap in the future, and is a
cause for termination of training.
DISTANCE LEARNING:
Distance
learning - is training to your home, at your workplace. This training, a
person can, ready and able to learn, but not when scheduled lecture.
And people learn as much time as assimilates information. It is believed
that a person can learn new knowledge is not more than an hour or two a
day.
E-learning
is much more fun learning in the classroom. Such training provides
freedom of movement and activity, flexibility training schedule,
cultivate responsible for their decisions and actions, as well as - of
inactivity. A student who took a break from training, do not miss any of
the curriculum, and that's very important - will be consistently solid
knowledge - knowledge gaps in distance learning - does not happen.
Schedule, the time and duration of classes each sets itself.
4. CONTROL STUDY
Classroom Learning:
When
teaching a group in the audience, it is often impossible to control the
understanding of the material. Control takes a lot of time, so for the
sake of presentation, its limit. It is very difficult to provide quality
control of each group in the training in the classroom. Personal
communication is not possible in the training group. When training
group, the rate of training set underachiever. Gifted with frankly
bored. Laggards - have not kept pace.
With distance learning, his pace lessons and training schedule - set himself a student.
DISTANCE LEARNING:
Computer is able to record and monitor impartially training in many ways, and greatly help the teacher in control.
Teacher
more time talking each student. This is very important for training -
each student is important to have feedback, and to know that he
understands the situation set out, and correctly apply the knowledge
obtained. Remotely possible to do all this. The full-time training on it
just do not have time and opportunity.
5. ACTIVITY IN EDUCATION
Classroom Learning:
When
training is very important activity of students. The student acquires
knowledge only when it is active in the learning process. Often
difficult to achieve in the classroom activity of students in a group,
because people do not want to expose their knowledge or, even more so -
to publicly display their ignorance, as did not want to publicly make
mistakes, especially when learning to adults.
Low efficiency of group learning is based on expectations that they can hide behind the backs of others.
The
duration of full-time training is always limited in time, and the
teacher most of the time allocated busy presentation. Therefore, the
full-time training, the student is not able to ask the teacher any
questions, and get answers. With distance learning, learning to
communicate with the teacher.
