Online learning is becoming a commonplace part of Czech education. What are the advantages of this kind of learning?
You can study from anywhere!
Listening to a lecture snuggled in a blanket on the couch with a treat in your hand? No problem. Those who take care of small children, parents or grandparents in old age, or managers of large companies who need to supplement their education but are too busy to do so, are grateful for a similar system.
The benefits of this system are great for maximum efficiency. People demand a flexible combination of work life and school, as well as the opportunity to manage their learning, move forward at their own pace and absorb practical knowledge without unnecessary theoretical ballast.
Learner motivation is central to the learning process. The essence of studying is that the listener takes something away from each lecture. The calm and time needed for this is created in the evening when the children are asleep (if they are not with them).
It is not only words that make a person alive, and so the visual aspect must not suffer either. Teachers should not lecture in sweatpants and should speak clearly. The quality of sound and image should not mimic the transmission from the moon landing.
Teaching should be designed to be multimedia, practically oriented and reflecting real situations. Difficulty should correspond to the 'zone of proximal development'. In practice, this means that the teaching should progress only at a pace that the student will be able to cover.
Online education has a future
Education experts predict that this trend will continue as a result of the globalisation of the education sector. The expansion of online learning will be further enhanced by the development of new and adequate tools.
However, the human factor remains important. Although the role of the cantor has been weakened in the traditional sense and students are becoming more autonomous. However, the lecturer does not lose the space to attend to each student individually and to solve specific problems with them.
In the end, online education can be much better than traditional face-to-face teaching. This is demonstrated by the wide range of online courses on offer at the European Training Academy. Within this institution, it is possible to complete your education at various levels, from professional qualifications to popular degrees such as MBA or LL.M.
