“Why learn online or what's wrong in traditional way”? is the first question comes in mind to the people who still believe in traditional learning.



Frankly speaking, there is nothing 'wrong' with traditional learning, it is the 'incompleteness' that's making the difference. Online learning is making a buzz simply because traditional learning is not able to fulfil its purpose of passing on quality knowledge or the knowledge that is required to get a suitable job. Blending technology with education proves to be more functional than orthodox learning in many different ways, whether a student want to study a particular course he is not allowed to continue in colleges, or he is too busy in his part-time job to attend his school. Online learning offers a solution to these problems. What it offers is a highly customisable study schedule which allows the learners to continue their study whenever they want.

"These proposed regulations achieve an important balance between accountability and flexibility, and in so doing create better protections for students and taxpayers," said U.S. Under Secretary of Education Ted Mitchell. "Additionally, these regulations promote and clarify state authorization procedures, further strengthening the integrity of federal financial aid programs."
