Bringing education to the student is what eLearning is all about. Everything from contact hours to full enrolment students can now go to your school online. Classes are videoed and available for streaming on demand via the internet. Tests and quizzes are given electronically.
What are the benefits to the student? Students can “go to class” when it fits their schedule. Tests are taken and scored by the computer with instant results which can be sent to the teacher or the computer can provide a contact hours certificate instantly. Students can be allowed to learn at their own pace without the cost of transportation and rearranging their schedules to match their class schedule. Blog, forums and chat functions allow students to discuss topics and even form eStudy groups to help increase academic success.
What are the benefits to the school? Course work is available for students near and far. If they have internet access…they can go to class. Education such as contact hours are simply paid for and taken. With autoscore and instant certificates, schools can provide instant education on a variety of topics. Once the course is set up the only thing the school has to do is deposit the course fee! Teachers can have blog pages which provide contact with on-site and elearning students and can even post answers to frequently asked questions saving valuable time and providing answers to students when they need them. Email accounts with eList allow teachers to send emails class by class, in bulk or individually to students increasing teacher/student communication. Students can take classes from all over the world. This allows the school to have students who could normally not attend which opens up the opportunity to expand tuition revenues at minimal expense.
It’s more than extension learning…it’s eLearning!
