Online Learning
Online learning is a term used for education that is provided using the Internet as the communication medium. Online learning allows a student to complete study sessions from home or work, by using the Internet. Learning resources may be in the form of printed material or material downloaded from the Internet. Due to its interactive nature, which permits two way communication, the Internet has emerged as an ideal medium for providing distance learning.
If you think that face-to-face training is the only effective way to do training, think again. New research shows that blending on-site training with online (such as through live, interactive webinars) produces far better outcomes. In fact, training webinars are as powerful as face-to-face training, and even better, when the sessions are designed for lively interaction, participation, and problem solving throughout.
