In today’s world of digitization and rapid changes, education sector shouldn’t be one to be left out. As we know, education is the basic infrastructure requirement for any society to progress. So, faster the education develops, so shall the society will progress. One biggest development in the education sector which is now in vogue in India is the Online Course Platforms or eLearning Platforms. These platforms conduct MOOCs or Massive Open Online Courses, where classes are taken on video, many a times for free.
As somebody said, “Education shouldn’t be costly, it should be priceless”, these eLearning platforms seldom keep any fees on courses. Basic education such as mathematics, English grammar are free of cost. Even basics of the new technologies such as robotics, big data are available for free. So, knowledge is free, then one will wonder how these companies make money. Well, education is free, but certification is not. Many of the courses will impart knowledge, but if one wants to put that knowledge in a resume, then they need a certificate and this certificate costs dear money. One must pay upwards of Rs.3000 for a basic certificate on a very basic course. Anyhow, if the aim is pure knowledge or staying relevant in a field then these courses are quite effective.
One more major advantage of these eLearning platforms is the convenience of learning at one’s pace. As many of the tutorials and videos are pre-recorded, one can listen and learn as per one’s schedule. This presents a tremendous opportunity for working professionals as they can learn after their days work. Even for the tutorials which are live, the tutorials are repeated a few times so that one can attend any one of the time-slots. Thus, eLearning platforms even solves the problem of dearth of time.
So, what are you waiting for!
