Learning from a Virtual Teacher
There used to be a futuristic idea that brick and mortar schools will cease to exist when robot teachers conduct classes in the houses of students. Although this revolutionary idea of training robots to become teachers did not actually happen, the idea of studying at home is truly alive and kicking. Through the worldwide web, home-study programs gained second wind wherein people who still want to study in their mature years can enroll in an online course. Virtual schooling is actually a time and money saving program that helps a lot of people in many parts of the world.
It used to be a futuristic concept
Online schooling is actually an offshoot of the old correspondence school. In the distance learning of the past, people who do not have time or incapable to study in a formal school because of valid reasons are given home-study modules. The latter contains self-help instructions designed to achieve learning without the presence of a human instructor. Nowadays, distance learning has been enhanced by using the internet as the basic platform. There are no more printed materials to be sent by mail because all instructional materials are accessible online. The present online education system presents a level of convenience that was never achieved in the early distance learning schemes.
The cyberschool concept was not only designed for individuals who did not finished secondary and tertiary levels of education. It is also suitable for college degree holders who want to obtain another degree. The reason largely depends on the intention of the one who wants to try the system. There are those who want to qualify for a promotion in their jobs by taking a course related to their title or even a master's degree. On the other hand, some intend to shift to a career that is in demand and commands a compensation that is double or triple than their old job.
Appealing features of online education
An area of education that continues to develop is the admissions process. Schools all across the country have experienced tremendous growth in this area. There is not much information that need to be provided and online students can start the course immediately after completing an online application. Even payment and posting the payment through a credit card or other forms of online money transactions is fully automated by an estimated 75% of nursing schools today. Everything is done online and enrollees do not need to show up at the school registrar to be considered a certified student. From start to finish, students would obtain their online college degree without visiting the school campus.
A vision that is realized
Educators have been pointing out that no individual should be deprived of a formal education. The virtual school gives everyone the opportunity to learn anything under the sun without traveling far. A vast repository of knowledge is waiting to be mined in the worldwide web.
