Universities nationwide have broken new ground in curriculum delivery by implementing the Learning Management System to provide distant learners with material to aid in earning their degrees. Specialty schools are the first to mark such accomplishments as they have established numerous successful online degree programs utilizing a Learning Management System. Such curriculum includes interactive classes where students can interact with the material or with one another.
A current Internet Marketing student, Jim Miller, tells about his experience in participating in Full Sail University's distant learning program. Orlando based Full Sail University has allowed Jim, a West Coast resident, to pursue a higher education while working full time and establishing himself in the workforce. "It's great because class is wherever you are. The convenience and flexibility of when you attend your class enables you to work your education around your career which helps to facilitate both endeavors."
The Learning Management System has created a system that allows students to receive help around the clock with the 24/7 mentorship in which students can receive further tutoring with highly experienced trainers. Additional help in the curriculum is not the only thing that serves as a major benefit, but the chance for students to experience various different types of teaching methods to identify which method works best for them.
With every solution there is always an awaiting problem. Depending on the curriculum layout or the Professor's preference, some courses require students to participate in group projects. This may cause major headaches with students having to factor in time difference, plan around work schedules, or even having to pick up the slack from lesser motivated students. This can hurt the integrity of a program and as a result evaluations are regularly conducted to ensure the curriculum layout successfully delivers the material the student and effectively conveys the material.
When asked how the Learning Management System compares to "in classroom" curriculum and the quality of the learning, Jim Miller states, "The only difference that I have experienced is that you are not physically in the classroom. I feel the quality of the curriculum and the concepts I am being taught are held at the same standard and uphold the same quality at any other University attending an in-person course.".
While some Colleges are not ready to make the full transition of implementing a Learning Management System, signs are beginning to show that they are testing the waters. Professors are beginning to hold class sessions online via secured site, to implement a new way of communication and grasping concepts. People are slowly noticing the ease of learning and the convenience of material delivery. Within no time distant learning programs will be found at every University.
