And although there are still examples of

gotten considerably better over the last decade.
And now, fairly suddenly it seems, there are a
growing number of cases where online education
is actually outperforming its traditional
classroom counterpart. Evidence of student
success and, indeed preference, for the online
classroom is mounting – and this will serve
widespread benefits for all of us.

Online learning has been on the rise in recent
years, and it’s really not hard to see why. On the
one hand, eLearning courses have become
hugely popular by the simple virtue of being so
much more convenient than traditional face to
face courses.
Students can fit them around their existing
responsibilities and commitments, and can
engage with multimedia content and learning
materials at whatever time is most convenient to

anywhere to study, they can simply log in to the
virtual campus from the comfort of their own
home or office.
There’s a second reason why online learning has
become so popular: it’s cheaper. Cost can often
be a prohibitive factor in why individual students
don’t enrol in courses they’re interested in. This
is also an issue for corporations who wish to
encourage their employees to undergo further
training but don’t have much of a budget for
conferences and training courses. Online courses
are easily accessible on much smaller budgets.
In addition to the convenience and the cost, a
large number of students are turning to online
learning courses because they have become a
better way to learn. Those students who are
serious about improving their understanding,
learning new skills and gaining valuable
qualifications are keen to enroll in the type of
course that will be the most effective.
participants learn five times more material in
online learning courses using multimedia content
than in traditional face to face courses. The
Research Institute of America have found that
this is not the case with eLearning. Rather,
online courses have increased student retention
rates from anything from 25% to 60%.
One of the great things about online courses is
that assessment can become more of an
ongoing process. This is good news for students
as interspersing multimedia content and learning
materials with regular short tests can improve
student engagement. In fact, research from
Harvard showed that using these short, regular
tests halved student distraction, tripled note-
taking and students’ overall retention of the
content improved. Online learning is certainly
the more effective option for students, but it’s
also better for the environment
Because online courses give students full control
over their own learning, students are able to
work at their own speed. Generally, students
work faster than they would do otherwise and
take in more information. They are able to move
faster through areas of the course they feel
comfortable with, but slower through those that
they need a little more time on.
This certainly makes online learning and
multimedia content a more effective method of
education overall. Promoting and engaging in
this kind of learning can help both individuals
and corporations to do their bit for the
environment and stick to their own personal
environmental goals.
