ONLINE LEARNING

You know when it comes I have never really liked the conventional method of learning. This is because I’m kinda too used to it plus it covers a lot of theories of which the teacher or instructor just comes to repeat what is already in the textbook. Oftentimes the traditional teaching methods teach us a lot about outdated things. This is because that method of teaching follow a curriculum that could be outdated and no one would usually notice because the bodies responsible for updating those subjects/courses have a lot of institutions to oversee and might not be able to oversee them on time.

I’m not trying to give excuses for them but simply stating why I prefer the cloud system of learning. Having participated in some meta and google courses I can say that it’s pretty easy to update a curriculum. I have had to take different levels of courses in social media management because the algorithm is always being updated and so is the curriculum. Once there is an update in the meta algorithm, the meta curriculum is automatically updated, something that rarely happens physically as we are humans and have a lot of limitations. This process can be a lot of work even if an organization was given the responsibility to ensure every schools curriculum is updated and in use.

Apart from the curriculum, one aspect of cloud learning that will forever surpass physical learning is the repetition advantage. You can always go back to listen to a particular lecture and systems are already put in place to ask questions over and over again. This is something your lecturer or professor can never offer you. Like I said before humans and limitations. Although I will admit that cloud learning can be boring most of the time, but It’s easier to understand a boring lecture online than a physical boring lecture.
