Imagine a world where you don’t have to curse yourself for getting up early in the morning to attend classes. What if by simply turning on the computer as per your own schedule you learn about the various subjects through some renowned professors.
Yes you guessed it right I am talking about virtual learning system. It is a mode of online education using the internet and gradually it is becoming a new way of teaching and learning. Just think thousands of students learning from a single professor and exchanging their notes and ideas among themselves. Won’t it be a great fun??
Online education has now become a $34 billion industry and in a recent survey it has been found out that 75% of higher learning system has an online education system in their long term plan. Gradually it is gaining popularity because of accessibility, flexibility and the quality of education it provides. In US alone there are 3 million students who have enrolled in online programs.
There are various organizations taking the lead and their main motto behind this is to provide a high quality of education to anyone and everywhere. Khan academy is one among them. It has uploaded more than 2300 videos on you tube on various topics and it’s available for free. Many top elite colleges are offering open course programs for free. IITs and IISc have also uploaded their engineering videos over internet website named nptl.
Now anybody can educate themselves with the way the internet is revolutionizing education. It will certainly make a big difference to the lives of poor students for whom affordability is the main concern. All I have to say is if you are a highly motivated self learner then this is the best platform to educate yourself!!!
