What is eLearning?

Elearning is a method of education that allows learners to progress at their own pace. Therefore, it lets you complete the course at the times that are best to suit you. Learning this way allows you to spread out the course to times which reduce the pressure on yourself.

What are the positives of eLearning?

– Flexible – complete at your own convenience

– Less Expensive

– More independent learning experience

 

 

What are the negatives of eLearning?

– Less traditional method of learning

 

 

What is Virtual Classroom learning?

Virtual Classroom learning is a mix of a traditional classroom experience and online learning. Subsequently, courses take place online using Zoom or Microsoft Teams. These courses will run on a specific timetable. This method of learning is the more traditional approach to training.

 

What are the positives of Virtual Classroom Learning?

– Interactive

– Instant feedback from tutors

– More traditional learner experience

 

 

What are the negatives of Virtual Classroom Learning?

– Courses may be longer and at fixed times

– More expensive
