Curriculum is beginning to evolve as Colleges around the nation implement a Learning Management System to revolutionize how their coursework is delivered to their students via online learning. Specialty schools have been the first to break into this industry by creating programs on the e learning platform for students who are located nationwide to earn their degree by using online courses. E learning courses that offer interactive curriculum such as; group projects, labs, quizzes, 3D modules, offer the same quality of material as in classroom courses.
Current Internet Marketing student, Jim Miller, tells about his experience attending Full Sail University, while currently located on the West Coast. Jim states that being a full time student and full time employee is difficult, but the flexibility and convenience of online learning is what allows him to pursue his degree and continue to establish a career. “It’s great because class is wherever you are. The convenience and flexibility of when you attend your class enables you to work your education around your career which helps to facilitate both endeavors.”
The Learning Management System creates a structure in which students have access to help, through many different channels, to further explain material being taught in their courses. A 24/7 mentorship program with experienced trainers, offer extra support for those students who are having complications understanding what is being taught in their coursework. E learning programs offer many benefits to students, among which, they are exposed to many different styles of teaching and in turn enables them to identify with which style they learn best with.
With every advantage there is always a disadvantage.Depending on the Professor or set curriculum, it may entail students to participate in group projects.This can pose many problems for students living in different time zones, having to plan around different work schedules, or picking up all the responsibility from a lesser motivated student.To ensure the integrity of the program, evaluations are conducted quarterly to determine whether or not the curriculum layout is delivering the material effectively.
When asked how he felt the Learning Management System curriculum and teaching compared to “in classroom” material and teaching in regards to quality, Jim states, “The only difference that I have experienced is that you are not physically in the classroom. I feel the quality of the curriculum and the concepts I am being taught are held at the same standard and uphold the same quality at any other University attending an in-person course.”
Colleges, who may not have implemented the Learning Management System as a full fledge online learning program, have instilled certain components into their current coursework. Professors have started to catch on to the trend and have tried new techniques to mix up their material by hosting their classes in an “online learning” type manner via chat room or modules. Building curiosity has people’s fascination boiling as they start talking about implementing their own Learning Management System into their course curriculum as online learning has proven ease in material delivery.
