Today' online learning environment provides exciting new ways to share and receive information. It's mobility plus flexibility plus global reach. It brings learning to you, offering online courses when and where you need them, making learning easier, more fun, and more accessible, anytime, anywhere. Take your course with you on the road, to the office, to your favorite coffee shop or anywhere you need to find the learning environment that works for you. Online learning also provides the opportunity to learn when and where you need to with colleagues from across the globe in a collaborative learning space. With more choices, flexible timing, and the collapse of distance, you can get the learning you need when you need it with colleagues from across the globe. In a face-to-face classroom, teaching is usually one to many with learners tracking at different speeds. One participant may already know what is being covered while one is lost and needs more support. In the online classroom, learners work at their own pace spending where they need it most. The traditional teacher in front delivering information model no longer applies online. Now, more voices are heard, no one can hide, and facilitators have the time and tools to mentor students one-on-one. Online learning gives participants more choices to direct their development and new ways of engaging with each other using real-time virtual group sessions, asynchronous online discussions and mentored reflection. Have you ever gotten excited about what you've learned from colleagues in a workshop, but by the time you get back, your notes have lost meaning...and your fellow participants aren't there to bounce ideas off of? Online learning allows you to revisit content whenever you need to, reflect on and discuss the content authentically from the workplace, and apply what you've learned immediately. But with great power, comes great responsibility. In online learning, learners manage their time and resources. This means technical glitches, distraction, and time management can be an issue. Online learners must be independent, organized, self-motivated, and not afraid to seek help to succeed. Now you don't have to let time and distance get in the way of putting a great Ah Ha moment to work. Extend learning beyond the classroom, connecting with your workplace and the world while participating in your online course. So Get connected. Get excited. Go online. .
