Online Education is Winning

Online education has already made its way into the corporate world. For example, 70 percent of IBM’s corporate training is now done online. And the company has done that in an insanely short period of time, like 24 months. It also has saved a ton of money, like a couple hundred million dollars. 

Online education in the corporate world was first introduced by National Technological University and they got higher evaluation scores for their classroom training and online learning. People prefer online education as it is convenient, flexible and mobile. 

Secondly with the upcoming technologies, the world for our future generation will be entirely different and so the online education will have to be updated according to the new management and skills. Such as Presley University does.  

There are some other universities that have mixed models of traditional and online education. The students are required to spend some time at the traditional campus while for the rest of the course period, the student can study online. They can participate in online chat rooms every night for about three hours. It’s a wonderful mixed model. But it is not imperative.  

However, it will be imperative at all ten years from now when broadband really becomes a reality, when everybody has infinite digital capability, when the quality of the learning experiences provided online is ten times better than it is today.

Online education is already working, and it’s still primitive. Just wait until it gets good.
