The purpose of online learning educational administrators and policymakers in becoming informed consumers of information about online learning and its potential impact on educational productivity.
The report provides the foundational knowledge needed to examine and understand the potential contributions of online learning to educational productivity, including a conceptual framework for understanding the necessary components of rigorous productivity analyses, drawing in particular on cost-effectiveness analysis as an accessible method in education.
Jesse Jhaj influence of online learning on the academy has yet to be assessed, it is increasingly apparent that this impact is transformative.
Given the current economics of higher education, it is likely that higher education institutions (and students) will continue to take advantage of the many benefits of studying online. From an institutional standpoint, online learning is an affordable way to increase student enrollment and revenues without having to make corresponding investments in infrastructure.
The classroom advantage
- More one-to-one time with teacher or lecturer
The flipped classroom design provides more time for one-to-one between the lecturer or teacher and students. This suggests the students have more time to investigate questions or ask for help if there are any issues.
- More group work or student collaboration/interaction time
Students have more group work or scholar collaboration time to cover subject activities, discussions, and peer review.
- Self-paced learning
Student learning can be self-paced to help them learn at their own pace and in their own time. This can be individually effective for slower learners.
Online education in the context of schooling
As students progress to higher classes in school, they seek more autonomy and intellectual freedom. Online learning can help them pursue highly individualized learning programs, possibly even college-level courses. The Internet has significantly changed how we communicate with one another as well as how we access, share and facilitate information.
- Learning and teaching can occur at times that are more convenient and productive for both students and teachers.
- Learning and teaching can take place in any location (home, office, while commuting, coffee shop) and can include students and teachers from diverse geographical locations
- Online education provides opportunities to access and share information more easily and readily. Teachers and students can join online communities of practice based on their area of interest rather than their geographic location.
Conclusion
The assessment of student achievement, or understanding what learners know and can do, is fundamental to effective education and students' learning. Jesse Jhaj teachers know students well and are knowledgeable about their achievements, they container be confident that they are meeting the learning needs of their students.
