Back-to-school is right around the corner, and many of us are considering taking a course or two or even enrolling part-time or full-time.

Why not consider e-learning as opposed to the classroom? Not only is it more convenient, it is the future, available to you right now.

Why Online as Opposed to In Person?

A recent article featured in Campus Technology suggests that e-learning and learning management systems (LMS) are gaining in popularity not only because of their impact on the corporate world, but for the ease with which individuals can now embrace higher education. The availability of coursework has become so widespread that people can choose from certifications all the way up to advanced degrees. Traditional academia is also beginning to embrace LMS strategies in order to accommodate students who are more eager to learn outside the classroom environment.

LMS Works on Campus and In the Office

The same protocols that help management keep track of employee progress can be used on campus to track coursework, projects and paper submissions from students. The idea that students needn’t be present in the classroom to turn in high quality work is one that has taken some getting used to, but with the help of technology, LMS has given students the opportunity to obtain course materials online, and submit papers without the pressure of having to get to campus to meet deadlines. LMS is now fostering a traditional learning atmosphere without the traditional setting.

E-Learning Offers a Wide Range of Choices

Just like a traditional course catalog, e-learning options are seemingly endless. Take your pick of everything from safety training to public health initiatives and just about everything you would expect in a conventional academic setting. The difference is, you get to choose where and when to tackle the material, as opposed to having a set schedule. This makes it easy for full-time employees to learn at their own pace, and for students who are reticent to return to a traditional classroom environment.

Whether you’re choosing full-time education or specific training in order to further your career, the coursework you need is just a few clicks away. Gone are the days of having to stress about closed out classes or traveling to inconvenient campuses. The future of learning is online, and the time to embrace it is now.
