Problem Roots of Virtual Learning

Let’s face it, elearning online has big faults on its own. Clearly the question that most academicians and software companies couldn’t answer well is the question why people should think critically about virtual learning.

Education, in general, and elearning online, in particular, suffers form problems that they cannot easily be avoided because of the nature of their methods. Virtual learning endures a constant strong case of hyperbole –characterized by strong claims that are neither borne from practical experience nor rooted in result driven analysis. This is partially why online learning is stagnant. Few people actually could rely on it since their mind is already set on the type of learning they have undergone in schools.

Consider the different cases in companies. While most companies would budget enough money to train their employees, it is usually set on the minimum because not all employees would guarantee even a 95 percent mastery of the skills and knowledge they’ve been taught. The second evidence that cyber learning has not attained its growth is the number of takers that is significantly small to even half a percent of the total population in the “dot-com” era.

Undeniably, the problem really is perspective rather than choice. Most people think the electronic learning is not effective enough to the user when in fact; it is totally up to the user to comprehend the matter. E-courses usually start on the basics of any subject regardless of complexity. Even before software is bought, the e-course will state the level of mastery required if it is for beginners, intermediary, etc. People will not meet their expectations if they don’t know their own learning type or what learning environment they prefer.

Still, elearning really did enjoyed success over time. E-courses have helped countless non-traditional learners as well as employees who want either enhance their skills or add extra ones. Elearning truly has grown slow within campuses yet somehow has managed to survive well within companies.

Truly, the problem both lies in the personal and individual preferences and what areas of human interest the developers of software have not yet been explored.
