E- Learning

This article is about electronic learning. Electronic learning(e-learning) is a way to gain college credit over the internet. It is a way for students who have a more demanding schedule, to take classes and work around their schedule so that they aren't making a schedule to work around their classes.

There are two types of E-classes. There is the Synchronous classes and the Asynchronous classes. the Synchronous classes are the classes that allow the teacher and the students to log on at a prearranged time and therefore conducting class through chat rooms or streaming video. Asynchronous classes allow students to log on anytime and during an assigned time frame to turn in and receive assignments, take tests, or post message boards.

The only question that this article leaves you with is.... " Is e-learning for you?" This article suggests that people who are easily determined to focus on the studies and are able to take attention to work on their own, can be successful with e-learning, but people who are easily distracted and prefer to work in a classroom setting, are better situated in a classroom.
