# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Online learning has been on the rise in recent years, and it's really not hard to see why. On the one hand, eLearning courses have become hugely popular by the simple virtue of being so much more convenient than traditional face to face courses.

Students can fit them around their existing responsibilities and commitments, and can engage with multimedia content and learning materials at whatever time is most convenient to them. Even better: they don't have to travel anywhere to study, they can simply log in to the virtual campus from the comfort of their own home or office.

There's a second reason why online learning has become so popular: it's cheaper. Cost can often be a prohibitive factor in why individual students don't enrol in courses they're interested in. This is also an issue for corporations who wish to encourage their employees to undergo further training but don't have much of a budget for conferences and training courses. Online courses are easily accessible on much smaller budgets.

In addition to the convenience and the cost, a large number of students are turning to online learning courses because they have become a better way to learn. Those students who are serious about improving their understanding, learning new skills and gaining valuable qualifications are keen to enrol in the type of course that will be the most effective.

Here are five reasons why online learning can be more effective than enrolling in a face to face training course.

#1. Students learn more than they do in traditional courses

IBM have found that participants learn five times more material in online learning courses using multimedia content than in traditional face to face courses.

Because online courses give students full control over their own learning, students are able to work at their own speed. Generally students work faster than they would do otherwise and take in more information. They are able to move faster through areas of the course they feel comfortable with, but slower through those that they need a little more time on.

#2. Retention rates are higher with online learning

Many offline courses struggle to retain students throughout the length of the course. The Research Institute of America have found that this is not the case with eLearning. Rather, online courses have increased student retention rates from anything from 25% to 60%.

It's been suggested that more engaging multimedia content, more control over how they take in the material and less likelihood of classes clashing with other commitments all contribute to this rise.

#3. Online learning requires less of a time investment

Many students are put off enrolling in a face to face course due to the time investment it will require. This generally involves the time to get back and forth to classes, plus the time spent waiting for tutors and other students. A Brandon Hall report on eLearning within corporations found that this style of learning typically requires 40-60% less employee time than learning in a traditional classroom setting.

It's also key to note that eLearning options generally allow students to split the time they are investing in the course in whichever way works for them. They don't need to be able to dedicate large chunks of time to the course: it'll work just as well if they can set aside half an hour from their lunch break each day.

#4. More frequent assessments can reduce distractions

One of the great things about online courses is that assessment can become more of an ongoing process. This is good news for students as interspersing multimedia content and learning materials with regular short tests can improve student engagement. In fact, research from Harvard showed that using these short, regular tests halved student distraction, tripled note-taking and students' overall retention of the content improved.

It's also worth noting that the mort often students are assessed, the better their tutors are able to keep track of their progress. Increased student tracking means that tutors are able to step in earlier when assistance is needed.

#5. eLearning is the greener option

Online learning is certainly the more effective option for students, but it's also better for the environment. The Open University in Britain have found that online courses equate to an average of 90% less energy and 85% fewer CO2 emissions per student than traditional in person courses.

This certainly makes online learning and multimedia content a more effective method of education overall. Promoting and engaging in this kind of learning can help both individuals and corporations to do their bit for the environment and stick to their own personal environmental goals.

This is where the teacher and the student meet in a set place for a set time, for either one-on-one learning or, most commonly, in group class lessons similar to what happens in school.

Face to face learning is a really effective way to learn knowledge and skills because it often combines different ways of learning including writing, reading, discussion, presentations, projects, group work, film clips, demonstration and practice.

The Advantages of Face to Face Learning in the Classroom

You'll be able to concentrate harder on your learning because there'll be less distraction than if you were at home.

You can gain greater understanding, stories and real-world examples from teachers and other students

You have a greater chance of completing your course successfully by doing it in a classroom situation. (Completion rate of teacher-led classes is almost 5x higher than that of on line learning)

You may feel more comfortable and learn more easily in a familiar, traditional classroom situation.

You can access more information and richer understanding through teacher and other students' body language and voice.

You have the opportunity to connect with, problem-solve, and network with other students from a wide range of backgrounds.

Is Face to Face Learning for me?

If you want to be involved in group activities, group learning and group discussions, then face to face learning is for you.

Online Learning

An online learning course is one you take online using a computer, without being with a teacher or other students in a classroom. You have greater flexibility and can study from home.. Most courses don't need you to be online at a certain time of day or night, but you must actively participate in the course during the course time frame.

The Advantages of an Online Learning course

You can study in the comfort of your own home, or wherever you want

It costs less - no need to travel for training, and no parking expenses

Courses fit around your life, family and other things you do

You will avoid being late to class, or getting distracted in class

You can learn from your peers

You have access to the course 24/7

It may be more relaxed for you than in a classroom setting

You are able to build up your skills interacting with technology

It suits if you have different learning styles

The delivery methods are different and engaging

Is Online Learning for me?

If you prefer to study at your own pace, in the comfort of your home or somewhere else, or if you live a distance from training colleges, online courses are for you.

Although online learning is a convenient way to take courses, it's not always a good idea for everyone. Some people find it difficult to study by themselves, and need the face to face contact with the teacher and other students in a classroom setting.

If you study online, you need to be very organized, self motivated and have good communication skills. .

On the Job Learning

On-the-job learning takes place in a normal working situation at a work site.

It's face to face learning, where someone who knows how to perform a job shows another person, or a group of people, how to do it.

A good example of on the job learning is when a person is employed in an apprenticeship or traineeship. They complete most of their training in the workplace, practicing and doing the job they are learning about, with the support of a workplace trainer.

Another example may involve a person who does a certain job in the workplace being taught a new way to do that job, or a new process that has to be adopted.

On the job learning is really effective because it gives the learner the chance to practice what they have learnt, using the actual workplace machinery, tools and other resources needed to do the job. And it is under the guidance of an instructor who knows how to teach the job.
