Advantages of Online Training over Distance Learning and In-Class room Training



Confused in choosing the mode of learning for your favorite course? Fast changing technology is showing its impact everywhere. In result, you have advanced learning modes where you can invest less time and get more knowledge.

Distance learning is one of the educational systems where you can learn any course from any corner of the world. It requires special methods of course design, communication and instructional design. In this, you may travel to your learning center some times. In this distance learning, if you get any doubt, it is difficult to clarify as the number of students is more in this system. Faculty may not give attention to every student. In this system, mostly the classes are conducted on weekends. It may not let you concentrate much on the course as the follow up would be low.

In in-class room training, you look at projector screen as the faculty is driving the course thru slides and you hear what he is explaining in each and every screen. Here instructor and learner interaction is low as the number of students is high. You do not get much control on the subject as the instructor goes in his own pace and you may hesitate to ask your doubts as you do not want to disturb other learners and even the faculty may not try to check with your queries.




In Online Training, instructor sits before his system and shares his screen with you like a projector screen in the in-class. Instructor explains everything on either skype or any other 2 way online interactive medium. The sessions here are highly interactive, mostly one-on-one training. There are hardly four or five students in the conference. So you can control the class completely. Here the instructor goes with your pace and repeats anything for you. One can ask as many questions as he/she can. A student get almost 25% additional training than regular in-class training as they get squeeze the faculty and one can get as much information as he/she can.  You can clarify the things the next day before the faculty jumps to the next chapter. Sometimes peer level students also help you out in solving those queries. You get to learn more real time subject in online training as per the customized curriculum.

This way, online training is always good to opt over distance or in-class training where you get to learn more subject in less time and real time cases.
