The new role of classroom training

With e- learning becoming a important part of your learning architecture, there will be a number of changes in classroom based learning strategies.

How the Web will Change the Classroom?

The classroom will no longer be the default delivery system

In the past, the development of classroom training was almost automatic action and it is a only way to continue our studies. As e-learning systems are established, the use of classroom learning is where more justification will be required.

The synergies between e-learning and classroom learning will become more refined.

As e-learning capabilities are organize, organizations will find new uses for classroom learning. This will cause the amount of classroom training decrease, but the importance of classroom experiences that still stay will certainly grow. The combination of the two will become central to a successful learning architecture, each contributing and perform its unique value.

There will be less teaching and more facilitating

As the classroom learning moves from teaching facts to applying concepts, from reviewing procedures to generating new ideas, the role of instructor willc hange from the all. In addition to the instructor, knowledge will come from a greater variety of sources, including exchange knowledge communities with learners via Web access, and outside experts ( either live or via technology).

Course start and end dates will become increasingly irrelevant

With Web access, learning can begin the previous class if they missed and continue long although the class is over. This is especially true for commnunity building among the students and for follow-up access to updated content and expertise. Furthermore, because of the increasing differences in the backgrounds, knowledge level, motivation, and availability of people, it will become increasingly difficult to find enough people who are ready at the same time for the same classroom course.

After this discussion, i felt that there is certain strengths and weaknesses of this topic. In my opinion, we have to maintain the quality in both sides to avoid the problems before it's happen,thx..:)

Comprehensive guide to online education degrees

Today, the topic I going to talk about is comprehensive guide to online education degrees for those who considering a job in the teaching field. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for teachers is grow 12 percent over the next few years and in 2016, more than 470,000 teaching position will be created. This result is basically more than other professions position. Other than that, more and more colleges and universities are offering online learning programs.

Therefore, eLearnPortal is launching a comprehensive guide to online education degrees which provided detailed information about teaching degrees programs, courses, job prospects, salaries, career paths, financial aid and other reliable information from Department of education, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the National Education Association.

Besides that, this education guide also helps them find a program that is certified and provide information about the different levels of education degrees and specialties. Other than that, they can browse to get a feel to know what the program will be like once they enrolled. There provide detailed information about the financial aid resources, inside look at the job from the actual teacher or lecturers and so on.

ELearnPortal also provide a directory of colleges or universities which offering online degree programs to them so they can use it to find a college or universities with the right online education degree program.

On my opinion, this is very good solution for the teacher and also the students. As a student, we prefer that our lecturers are expert in the subject that they teach and also able to teach. Then we can learn many things from them instead of listen to the lecturer and the lecturer only reading the text book. Through this website, those who want to become a lecturer can clarify what is the subject that they able to teach and how it actually look like. This is a benefit for them and also the students. So, what is your opinion? Or you need more information can visit to this website:
