The Benefits of Online Learning
October 13th, 2014 | Online Learning
I strongly believe that the future of higher education lies with online learning. Increasingly, colleges and university students now find themselves with other obligations beyond that of getting a degree. Jobs and family commitments make equal demands on their time. Having the option of taking online classes and studying on their own time is critically important. At the same time, many state institutions are unable to accommodate all those who want to take classes on campus, escalating the demand for online learning.
Finally, lifelong learning must now be a part of everyone’s career plans. In today’s job market, taking online courses help workers remain competitive and they don’t need to take time off from their jobs to do this.

October 1st, 2014 | Online Learning
Completing an online course offers more than an opportunity to learn a new skill. Adding a new course to your CV demonstrates that you are motivated, disciplined and invested in self-development. Sounds easy? Studying online brings its own challenges for learners. Online learners often find it hard to stay focused on their course content and to stick to the course schedule without a lecturer checking their progress. Check out our 5 handy tips to help you master your online studies.
1. Be Organised
Before you embark on your studies, find out everything you need to know about the course – the schedule, how assessments work, deadlines for coursework and what support is available if you need help. Check any technical requirements and update the internet browsers on your computer or device. Spend some time navigating the course layout and website so you can quickly access your studies.
Use a calendar to take note of important course dates and the date that you want to finish the course on. Email services like Outlook and Gmail include calendars and task lists to help keep you organised, or use a printed calendar.
