Online Learning:A Video

There is nothing better than seeing something in action when you are trying to understand it. In India, online learning still is a mystery and a lot of us are clueless as to how it all works. Well it is a lot more than interacting with someone online and learning through the discussion. It’s about devising learning theories, developing effective content, making things visually appealing and simple to understand. This video that I came across talks about a few aspects of online learning and communities which are working for its betterment and effective implementation. You will get a better idea about how instructors are working in this field and some learning methodologies that they resort to. More videos and information to come on this exciting field.

Study As You Like in Community Colleges

Education is trying to seamlessly fit into every lifestyle and is taking varied responsibilities into consideration. Not everybody can follow the rules laid down by conventional means of imparting education and more and more people are realizing and respecting this fact. This is why we are seeing the upsurge of online learning and distance learning which are great alternatives for people who are unable to make it to schools and colleges. Future education, training and communication will be largely online and it looks all set to pervade all corners. It’s little surprise then that states are considering community colleges for the purpose of education of all levels.

A community college lets you pursue your degree the way you want it. You have the option of attending regular face-to-face classes, you can choose to take your programme online and you can opt for a part-time or a full-time course. Thus community colleges are a one-stop-shop for all kinds of courses. You can enroll for an associate degree in various fields which will enable you to get admitted to a college or university for completion of degree. Karnataka’s first initiative, the Geeta Ramanujam Educational Institution (GREI), is off the mark with 29 students who have signed up for associate degree courses. The certificates will be given by IGNOU and the job-oriented courses will ensure that students get employed soon after course completion.

Looking forward to more such initiatives in other states of India. With this, the vision of bringing education to everybody is getting brighter by the day.
