Online Training: Learning on the Road

By Les Parker

Online training has modernized the traditional learning and training experience. We have come a long way from computers the size of a room, big floppy disks, windows dos and dial up. Technology has streamlined computers and the internet and as a result has enabled us to take it with us. We have slowly become dependent on the internet, implementing it into our everyday routine. We even have access to the internet on our smart phones which allow us to receive "play-by-play" updates throughout the day, and communication with people all over the world.

So if technology has allowed us to take the internet wherever we go, why not do the same for learning? Online training has enabled us to allow learners to take education or training home with them. For those who are seeking higher education or organizational training, knowledge is now at your fingertips. Courses that are offered on a Learning Management System is so vast to provide students with every type of course subject and teaching style. Finding accredited courses delivers an easy and hassle free process for students looking to fulfill requirements. A few specialty colleges have already caught on to this rapidly growing trend and have designed degrees based on eLearning platforms.

New online training modules bring 3D graphics, state of the art interactive courses, quizzes, and video with sound. 24/7 mentorship has been added into the mix as students are now offered support from highly trained professionals to ensure that they are understanding the material. With such diverse styles in teaching, students will be exposed to a number of methods that could aid in increasing productivity and comprehension.

Along with education systems implementing online training into their curriculum, Organizations are beginning to follow suit. No more suffering through those outdated movies in the back room. Online modules bring interactive and enjoyable curriculum for employees to learn and gain comprehensive working experience.

Online training has proven itself to be very effective and efficient and in addition new material is constantly being developed with the student in mind. A variety of courses and certifications such as; A+, Network+, First aid, Helicopter, and much more are a few things that are constantly being developed and provided.

Online training truly is changing the way we think about learning and the mundane training that normally is included when we enter into new positions in the workforce, new systems are implemented or those annually required safety or corporate training seminars. Just as computers and the internet has been streamlined and made portable, training and education is following suit. - 32171
