In a traditional classroom setting, effective learning
requires the skillful incorporation of a variety of components.
Students register for a course. The instructor creates a lesson
plan and lecture. The course is delivered at a pre-determined
location. The environment is conducive to learning because
everyone is able to hear the instructor, see the presentation
and the classroom is distraction free. The instructor engages
the students, stimulates interest, tests understanding, answers
questions or clarifies points. Finally, students are tested
and their understanding is measured.
Building an effective Online Learning Center requires the
same forethought and, with proper execution, can achieve
the same or better results. A successful Online Learning
Center will have effective content and lessons and an interactive
environment conducive to learning. The right technologies will
be used to seamlessly facilitate learning and deliver effective
training and testing.
