Sky Campus
Advantageous to Online Classroom:
1. Be it asynchronous class or live session we are staring at online classrooms which will be the order of the future of education process. Of course asynchronous class is nothing but sessions attended at our own flexible time and discussing with our instructors and fellow students through discussion forums. This allows one to learn at one’s own pace.
2. Live sessions, of course you need to login at a specific time which will give you the opportunity to share your doubts through chat window then and there without hesitation unlike classroom sessions.
3. Online classrooms will allow us to take the sessions at our comfortable ambience be it the living room of our own house or at a Café across the street, or in a library, etc. Taking lessons at the comfort of one’s own favourite place also gives the advantage of avoiding traveling to long distances to mark one’s presence in the classroom.
4. This could possibly bring down the cost of education as well. For instance think of all the frills attached to enrolling into a Earth Campus as opposed to Sky Campus, you would require to shell out unduly bucks on transportation, food, uniforms, fashionable dresses, trainers, pocket money to hang around, more so if you are a hostel student. It is quite possible the tuition fee too might see a substantial reduction in case of virtual classroom.
5. The new dimension of learning process is also going to bring into us new traits such as self learning, self motivation, self monitoring, and time management. The things that we do driven by internal motivation will have a far reaching consequence and would go a long way. Self learning helps us become independent in solving complex problems in life and workplace.
Hence there are more advantageous to Sky Campus, having said that in whatever time zone we are in nothing can replace a Guru. Classrooms online or face to face, a Guru is imperative to facilitate learning and guide the taught in the right direction. Hence the importance of a Teacher can never be underestimated or, misunderstood that technology can overshadow a Teacher’s role.
