Students are increasingly turning to online courses because they have become a better wayto learn. Online courses offer students greater control over their own learning by enablingthem to work at their own pace.
Some other benefits are the engaging multimedia content, greater access to the instructorand the stimulating online interactions with other students and the teachers. All these can addto enhanced learning and improved retention.
Another key feature is that online courses tend to include more frequent assessments. Themore often students are assessed, the better their instructors can track progress andintervene when needed.
I experienced all this myself when I completed a six-week online program through ColumbiaBusiness School. As a busy executive, the only way I was able to take such a course wasonline. And it proved to be an incredibly valuable and timely experience – highly relevant tomy new job. I was able to do many of the lecture portions from my iPhone while sitting on aplane. I did coursework during the week and turned in weekly assignments on Sundayevening. And each Wednesday, I attended live online sessions with professors and studentsfrom around the world.

We havereached a watershed moment when the discussion will no longer be about the relative meritsof online learning, but how best to implement online programmes for maximum effect onstudent enrollment and success.
