BENEFITS OF ONLINE COURSES

ONLINE COURSES AS AN ADJUNCT TO YOUR PREPARATION FOR COMPETITIVE EXAMS

Introduction

In technical terms “Online education is a virtual environment in which teachers are separated by time and space .’’

Classically, education in India always prescribed the Guru Shishya parampara wherein the shishya used to stay with the gurus to leanr and imbibe all that was needed.

The concept of traditional education was already changing within the last couple of years. Being physically present in a classroom wasn’t the only learning option anymore. There was skepticism surrounding education through the internet owing to difficulty in understanding the notion of leaving behind the conventional classroom, which has been hardwired in our brains from generations. But the pandemic changed it all. Each and every one of us was forced to turn to the online mode of education whether we were ready for it or not. It was a nature “forced” trial period which cleared misconceptions and exposed the advantages and limitations of online education.

Conclusion

In his book, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, scholar Yuval Noah Harari outlines how schools continue to focus on traditional academic skills and rote learning, rather than on skills such as critical thinking and adaptability, which will be more important for success in the future. Online education bridges this gap and provides updated education. It’s too early to say that online education will replace classroom education soon, but online education has proved its mettle in being an excellent adjunct to class room education. Keeping this in mind, all CEDEES classroom and online education come with complete access to full year online courses which complement each other very well
