Educating The World Through The Internet To Fulfil Dreams

Technology is changing the world, for the better. Living in the age of technology we can do anything at the click of a button. The internet, ever since its inception, has made everything accessible to us. Everything from music to movies to emailing to chatting to shopping to working to studying is available online. Distance education existed for a long time but it was never paid heed to. No one would ever bother too much about it till life and education became tough and prices started to rise.

The job market became tough as regular college degrees were a common aspect and the better job always went to the more qualified. Not everyone has the economic backing to attend college for higher studies; therefore getting a job became tougher. Until one day, distance education got a new face. Online education was introduced. These online distance learning courses were first looked down upon but as few of the best universities started offering these courses, they were given respect.

Online learning started to grow. It became a very popular mode of completing studies and attaining higher degrees. People with monetary trouble started opting for these cost efficient courses. Many types of degree courses were made available along with the undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Diplomas, foundation degrees, top-up courses, etc. As these courses were provided by prestigious universities and colleges, they became acceptable to employers.

These courses are meant for those who yearn to study but can’t due to physical disabilities, financial crises or family obligations. Online learning started to grow in leaps and bounds. These courses helped people to get better exposure and increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. A person studying online could actually study together with the world. They could discuss their study related queries with other people taking the course in a forum. This way they could also meet people from different ethnicities and religions. Unknowingly, the world was becoming a smaller place. What online studies did when it first was introduced, is that, it erased geographical boundaries. Distance learning was perfect for those who needed to work. Till date distance learning is respected and in recent times many new courses have been introduced that students can easily avail of.
