The difference between the inside of Education campus and online education

In university education campus versus online education! It is one better than the other? One can completely replace the other? In fact it seems that online education is the way of the future. The companies and government institutions, educational institutions both offer different forms of e-learning. However, the computer can be solved really replace a teacher and the blackboard?



How do people learn

Every individual has a form of learning that suits them best. Some individuals achieve great results in the teaching of courses online, but most people drop out of courses led by computer 100%. Educational institutions, as well as companies in the implementation of staff training, and we must recognize that there is no perfect way to implement the teaching of a large group of individuals, and so must the programs that fit the needs of the group as a whole the best design.

People learn by using multiple senses. This involves learning through both theoretical components of the course, as well as social interaction with all of the teachers and other students. Students learn from the mistakes and successes of each other, and not only what they are told by the coaches.

Each individual student has to learn the speed of idealism. Thus faced with the challenge of trainers to design courses that are moving forward, such that those students with a slower pace of learning do not get left behind, while not moving very slowly so that students with learning steps faster bored.

Online Education

In the era of information transfer at high speed, and online education has become a popular and cheap to provide education to individuals outside the classroom, and in some cases worldwide. Education can be via CD, Internet sites, or through the facilities in real time on the Internet, such as webcasts, seminars and virtual classrooms. However, different methods of online education for each of their advantages and disadvantages.

Online education is still a relatively new concept, and in many respects still in the teething stages. As such, different problems up in different learning environments on the Internet. For example:

1. The lack of immediate feedback in asynchronous learning environments: Although some learning environments on the Internet, such as webcasts, seminars, virtual classrooms vivid works with the addition of coach, no more. Teaching that is delivered through a CD-ROM or the location, although the existence of the self as a feature, does not offer any immediate feedback of live instructor.

2. More than the required preparation on the part of the coach: in the education environment over the Internet, and the coach can not simply stand in front of a white board and providing category. Lessons in learning environments over the Internet must be prepared ahead of time, along with any notes and instructions that may accompany teaching.

In many cases, it will also be necessary for the coach not only understand the concepts being taught, but the technology used to achieve this teaching. So this increases the skills required levels of trained online education, and the development of increased demand for educational institutions.

Employment levels may also be higher to run courses in education online environment, and that require, for example:

Coach - able to teach each course content and be skillful in the use of technologies in question

Facilitator - to help the coach in providing content, but may do so remotely

Help Desk - to provide assistance to teachers, facilitators and students in the use of all the software and hardware used to make this session.

3. Not all people feel comfortable with online education: no longer just expanded the education of the youth of the world. With increasing trend towards adult education and continuing education, and there is a need to design suitable courses for students at an older age range, as well as students from different and diverse backgrounds. It is difficult, however, for the design of learning environments suitable for everyone across the Internet.

4. Increase the likelihood of frustration, anxiety and confusion: the learning environment on the Internet, and there are a larger number of components of the system can fail parts. Server failure may prevent online courses of action. It may require teaching applications based on other specific software components to work. Computer viruses that may infect the software needed to run online learning environments. If these complex systems, students can choose easy education on campus instead of taking the extra time and effort required to master the use of education systems on the Internet.

5. digital divide and: Many people who live in remote areas and developing countries have no access to computers, making any form of online education is practically impossible. For this reason, online education is able to target the people lucky enough to be able to take advantage of all the technology used. Similarly, provide live education in all parts of the world means that the different time zones and nationalities of the increased demand for multi-skilled trainers.

In addition, there are also many legal issues associated with maintaining the learning environment on the Internet. For example, intellectual property laws, particularly those relating to copyright, it may or may not fully cover the creation of intellectual property electronically. For example, the information is not considered on a website does not have to be public domain, despite being available to all. However, the Australian Copyright Amendment Act in 2001 to ensure that copyright holders and publishing of electronic materials, including online learning environments, and can continue to provide their businesses.

In university education campus

The shape is still the most common form of teaching non-traditional learning style classroom. This instructor-led environments are more personalized online learning environments, and it also has a feature that allows for immediate feedback both to and from students and teachers alike. However, the classroom allows for less flexibility of courses run in learning environments on the Internet.

Trained in modern classroom environments are still able to take advantage of the several forms of electronic teaching tools associated with maintaining the traditional classroom environment atmosphere. For example, PowerPoint slides can be used instead of a whiteboard or chalkboard. Can be distributed alms by positioning the previous session for the event. However, in the day, and students are still able to actively participate in the lesson.

Such as online learning environments, on-campus education comes with some drawbacks, the most common of which is the classroom itself. This requires a group of people that, at a university, for example, can be up to a few hundred people in size, to gather in the same place at the same time. This requires significant time and financial commitment on behalf of both students and educational institutions.

However, it is this type of environment in which they are more familiar to students all over the world. Can people of all ages access to the classroom environment and feeling comfortable with the way the cycle to run their classrooms. Older students who may not be comfortable with the use of information technology is not required to navigate their way through the online education environments may have complex, making university education within the campus the form most accessible of teaching.

In university education campus has one advantage that the courses 100% delivered electronically can not offer - social interaction. Learning comes from observation, not only what is written on a page or view them in a slide show, but what is observed in other countries. Most of the students are naturally curious, and so you will want to ask questions of their teachers. Classroom environment allows students to explain what is going on not only with their teachers taught, but with the other students.

So, which is better?

There is no teaching method that best fit each student. Studies have shown (can be replaced online education campus education) that the courses that are being used online education to complement the on-campus education has proved more effective than courses delivered entirely using only one method. These courses to take advantage of all the educational materials online and live instructor, was higher than those of students in education or classroom environment results achieved online courses either 100%. Students have the advantage of instant feedback and social interaction that comes with the classroom environment, as well as the rest of the units education on self online that can be done when it fits the student.

It seems that online learning environments will not completely replace the on-campus education. There is no "one size fits all" method of teaching. The teaching methods will continue to adapt to find the method that best suits the learning group. Using a combination of online educational environments, classrooms and educational institutions, companies and government institutions, can ensure that the training is convenient and effective delivery of this is for both teachers and students alike.
