Online Courses: From Alternative to Mainstream

Article Category: Education

Author Name: Mark Jones

Online learning started out as an alternative form of education for those who cannot manage to attend conventional school. Home study, self-learning, correspondence school and online courses are all variants of distance learning that helped stay-home parents and full-time employees to continue studying without spending time on campus. They study at their own pace and schedule, at home or wherever they can study. But apart from these, they do all the usual things that regular students do: they read and study their lessons, prepare for examinations, do assigned school work, communicate with their professor or facilitator (albeit online or via email rather than in person), and so on.

Now, online learning has evolved from being an alternative offered to people with time limitations, to just an alternative to traditional learning that anyone can opt for. Among those with no the time constraints of full employment or parenting duties, and who can attend conventional school if they choose to, there are many who prefer to take online studies instead. They choose to because online learning offers much flexibility in time scheduling, and it is less expensive than attending a brick-and-mortar college or university. The student, if he is disciplined and motivated enough, can also graduate faster because he doesn't have to conform to the regular school schedule. It may even be possible to take many online courses at once and finish more than one degree, if one really works hard at it.

Millions of students take up online learning programs, and there is every indication that this mode of education is becoming mainstream. Especially popular are short-term online courses that people enroll in to learn a specific skill that will help them land a job they intend to apply for, or that will lead to a promotion in their current employment. These online programs are convenient because they can be studied without going on leave from work or disrupting their normal schedules. The student just has to put in some extra hours for study, often at night, on weekends, or whenever he has some free time.

Employed people who are thinking of putting up their own business one day are among those who take online studies. They usually study a course that is related to their current work, or to the business that they intend on putting up someday. This works to their advantage because they can continue earning while studying.

Some companies even give online training for their employees to add to their competencies and help them do their work better. The online mode has become an easy, effective and efficient way to give employees continuing in-service training. It is not as expensive as hiring traditional trainers to conduct the program.

Of course, online college degrees are also very popular. Anyone who regularly uses the Internet sees those ubiquitous advertisements for online learning and even "instant" online college degrees. Disregarding the obviously untrustworthy diploma mills, online learning via an accredited college or university can be very helpful to someone who earnestly wants to earn a college degree without attending traditional classes. Practically all the bigger, established universities in the country have online course offerings. These include courses in the medical, business, accounting and technology degrees, which are very much in demand these days. A number of master's and doctor's degrees can also be studied online, including MBAs.
