The Online Learning Age is Upon Us - Part 1
Are you interested in online education?
If we have any experience at all with the Internet, we ve all gone through some type of online learning experience, whether it be for our own business venture, for our children or even just to find out more information about a special topic.
The truth is that most of us will be learning online at some point in our lives, and our children will be all be involved with computers and online learning. We are in the middle of a transformation age, where the marketplace is evolving from real to virtual, offline to online, tangible to electronic. And the funny thing is, we don t even feel it!
How many of us have already ordered something from an online catalog as opposed to the old-fashioned mail order process? Almost anything you can buy from a catalog is now available online, including antiques, lingerie, and pet food. We are embarking upon something that is no longer a fad or exception, but the internet is here to stay, and getting bigger by the minute.
As far as the learning experience goes, online learning has yet to take a real hold on us, which is why we still have the traditional classroom experience as our main method of learning today. But for how long? There are virtual classrooms being created left and right, and you would be hard-pressed to find a university today that does not have some kind of online learning system in place.
And what about for your younger children? When does the computer / online learning experience begin? For me, it was in the 8th grade, when the first Mac computer was a new addition to our school system. There was even a rudimentary “e-mail” system, where we could do the equivalent of today s chatting with other people who were either sitting in the same computer room or linked through the school network system.
But those days are long behind us, and we can access just about any piece of information that we need with the click of a mouse button. We can communicate with several people at the same time in just as many countries, even holding a VOIP telephone conversation with one of them simultaneously. The next step, video-conferencing and chatting, is already beginning to take hold, and once that can be improved and simplified, it will probably also become the norm rather than the exception.
Today, online learning is already easy, with video teaching tools commonplace and online education becoming a household word. Our children are not learning as we did, and it is time to grasp and embrace that fact. Behold, the Online Learning Age is upon us!
