Distance learning is not a new concept to take the education arena by storm. Education without the brick and mortar classrooms, chattering of students, the live session of the interaction between teachers and students was just a fairy tale. But that myth became reality in due course of time. It took the distance learning mode of education, a long period to come into being. It had to pass through the toughest time to be embraced by the cynics with good grace.
With the invasion and pervasion of the internet in the world of education, the distance learning system has gone sky high. Such off-beat mode of study brought a silent revolution in the education arena and the ‘study online’ notion has evolved this off-campus program in a great way.
Several major advantages have helped the distance learning programs to thrive on. The possibility of earning degrees without attending the classes and maintaining the stringent attendance rules is a great relief for many a student. In metropolitan cities, students tend to do part-time jobs to gain experience besides pursuing studies. Professionals also want to resume studies after a prolonged period of hibernation once their student life is over. Most of them are unlikely to quit their jobs. So the distance learning mode of study is the only way to carry on with profession and education simultaneously without hampering any of them.
Study online as an innovative mode of distance learning program has created a buzz in the education field. The study materials are available in the e-book formats. Though such online study does not provide any face to face learning facility, still, it has an interactive aspect as it allows the teachers as well as the learners to get connected via internet. Such online session is really helpful for the pupils to come up with the queries, quench their thirst for knowledge and dispel confusion if any. So the new model of the distance learning program is really a revolutionary concept in the education sector.
To make the online study program more user-friendly, an upheaval task has been undertaken which has been more focused on the instructional design of the pages. The elaborate and to-the-point descriptions of the subject along with the necessary pictures make it easy for the students to imbibe the information without any hassle. The students who are internet-savvy find the online mode of study the most feasible option to advance their career. With the successful implementation of the online program in the field of education, the distance learning has promised to shine brighter in the coming days
