When you study with us, you have a choice. You can join one of our
classrooms, or you can study online.
Online learning – How it is done
If you have a computer, you can learn from home, or a cyber-café
near your home. We send you the course material through courier
when you register with us. The lessons are based on the course
material – so you bring the course material to your online
class. Your teacher will conduct the class in an online
classroom, which is like a normal classroom. The teacher will
talk to you, ask you questions, correct your answers. And you
can also put questions to your teacher. You can see the teacher,
other students, and they can also see you. There is a
whiteboard, just like a blackboard, on which the teacher may
write or draw. In this online classroom you can do everything
you do in a regular classroom – so it is called a virtual
classroom.
Online learning Vs Classroom learning
Which is better?
We conduct both online and classroom training. So we can tell
you about the advantages and disadvantages of the two training
methods.
The most important advantage of classroom training is that you
can see your teacher in flesh and blood – a real person. This is
how we have learnt in our childhood; we are familiar with this
method. So many of our students feel more comfortable learning
in a classroom.
The biggest advantage of online training is that you save on
time. And another big advantage is that you can learn from the
best teachers.
If you live in a big city, then your travel time to a study
centre can be more than an hour. And if you live in a small
place then a good teacher may not be available.
In addition there are other practical advantages. In online
training, the teacher uses a lot of graphics – pictures and
drawings in full colour. The use of graphics is very helpful in
explaining difficult to understand concept. Then in the online
classroom not only the teacher writes on the whiteboard, you can
also write on it. Finally, if you miss a class, then nothing
much can be done in a regular class. But in the online class,
you can go through the recorded sessions, which can be repeated
any number of times.
Because of its many practical advantages online training or
E-learning has become quite popular in western countries. It is
spreading quite fast globally.
What do you need for online training.
You need a computer with internet broadband connection (512 kbps
is ideal). You also require a headphone-mike set (cheap sets
costs about Rs 100). If you want to see the teacher then you
should buy a webcam (costs about Rs 500) – but it is not
essential. If you go to a cybercafe, then you get all this
equipment
