An Elearning Online Beginning

I recently enrolled myself to an elearning online course. The first time I heard about elearning was from a blog post from my friend. He said that e-courses was really good and flexible for working students; which of course, enticed me almost instantly especially that I have some part time jobs. I need money, you see.

When I think about it, I actually heard of elearning online before. I actually attended a lot of face-to-face lessons which eventually led me to take extra lessons because I couldn’t keep up with my part time job at Barley’s. It was quite the frustrating ordeal since it was mentally exhausting when the lessons were over then it was physically tiring during my work hours. This means that by the time I wake up the next morning I had totally forgotten the lesson the day before. For some reason my failing scores in Math have become a running joke among my group of friends.

Plus I get to stay at home. Staying home to complete all those stuffs, near bed, not much pressure, and not even much to care about whether the teacher would nag about how I didn’t listen to the previous formula because I was busy staring at Jen – that sounded good enough for me to apply for the e-courses. I can study hard as well as work hard all at a not so strict schedule.

Although in my opinion, electronic learning is good for those types of students who need enough time to get a certain lesson well-done in their head but for those types that really need classmates or teachers in real live flesh to get their learning mood on the go. I personally think that conventional or face-to-face training still remain relevant to any student or organization since most of the people grew up in such a setting. Elearning has become an integral part of training and development for many organizations, or so my dear friend Gumby blogs about.

Now I’m just excited to do all that elearning stuff, those online tests and exams with the online teacher in the next few weeks. Who knows, I might find new and better skills that I’m actually good at while I study.
