When adults—especially moms and dads—think about going back
to school, many see no way to squeeze college into their hectic routines. But
it is possible—and we're here with tips for success in online courses.
Attending college online helps with that time crunch. Not having to commute to
a campus saves adult students several hours per week. These stolen hours can
then be applied to home study time.
Truth is, the average working American has about 30 hours of free time
per week. That's right: 30 hours. The
key is learning how to manage your time tightly.
ONLY SMART PERSON GOES FOR ONLINE COURSE.
Mr. Smart & Mr. Bookworm are looking for a job
opportunity but they both lack a certification in the field. So they decided to
go for one, but with distinctive ways of learning i.e. e-Learning and
traditional learning. Let’s find out the advantages an e-Learning course can
provide and how Mr. Smart & Mr. Bookworm land up in the end.
Advantages
of Online Learning
Although many people still consider traditional universities
as the best way to achieve knowledge and get a diploma, online learning proves
to be a great alternative. Students have the chance to study in their own time
and especially for free. It represents a great way to study many fields and to
boost the level of self-motivation. Online learning is so effective because
students can finish their homework quickly, and there is more time left for
hobbies or for finding a job.
An access to all resources of a traditional course helps
participants learn wherever they are, leaving them the freedom to choose the
time for study. With basically an Internet connection, a person can attend
different courses. Among the advantages of online learning there are the responsibility
and self-discipline of students.
Online school provides flexibility in the face of other
responsibilities
Life as an adult presents a lot more challenges and
results in more serious consequences when not meeting deadlines. Getting bad
grades in school could make job prospects more difficult, but losing a job can
potentially result in homelessness. The time investment made for work often
makes going back to school as an adult more difficult.
Some
online programs offer asynchronous learning, where a student meets deadlines on
their own time. This gives adult learners the flexibility that many
brick-and-mortar schools don't offer.
Reflect
on your learning style: Because younger students often have less experience
as unsupervised workers or students, experts say it can be hard to know exactly
how they can best use the unstructured learning time common with online
courses. These challenges arise if students haven't done much self-reflection,
or if they lack leadership experience,
