Who
takes online learning courses and why? Flexibility and convenience are the key aspects of online learning. A student can be in full control of the entire learning process- how, when and where he learns. The pace of the courses is as per the convenience of the student. Online learning is available at all times whether day or night and anywhere-whether at home, at office or a cyber café providing education that fits into the busy schedules of our lives. Many of our students take courses to upgrade their professional skills. Others are planning career changes, pursuing personal interests, or simply aspiring to be net savvy. The traditional school will never go away, but the virtual classroom is a significant player in today's busy world. ..................................................................................................................  | |
