Pros And Cons Of Elearning In Higher Education

There are many controversies that american public education system does more harm than good. In “Against School” by John Taylor Gatto and “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work” by Jean Anyon, explains how school education destructively impacts us. Gatto states his experience as a public school teacher and why he “just can’t do it anymore”. He was tired how the schooling was programmed. He argues how school system are affecting students to be more like “childlike” citizens. Also, Anyon demonstrates her research on how there are many different kind of education depending what “class” you were. She informs us that there is an inequality in “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work”. Both authors depicts the reality and truth, that some people are unable to see. As a student, I’ve also experience this and support how school depicts how we are in the future. Moreover, there are many representations that explains why the american public education systems does more harm than good.

Whatever the technology, learning is the important element. e-Learning is no longer simply associated with distance or remote learning, but can now form a choice of the best and most appropriate ways of promoting effective learning.

E-learning has contributed into a technology-driven paradigm that has transformed the educational processes by providing creativity, innovation and diverse styles in teaching and learning. In nutshell, it is transferring of knowledge and information to learners using Information and Communication Technologies. E-learning is delivery of contents using extensive technological tools and computers with an intention to provide autonomy and flexibility to learners as well as teachers. The term E-learning is interchangeably used with related terms like virtual learning, online learning, web-based learning, internet learning, distributed learning, networked learning, tele-learning, computer-assisted learning, web-based learning and the likes. However, broadly e-learning refers to delivery of learning objects using electronic technologies.

The advantages that e-learning that e-learning brought to us where so many that leads as to see learning in a brighter and easy way. The usage of e-learning is a huge step towards a brighter future of the upcoming generation of

The primary purpose of e-learning is using a computer to distribute part of the course which is mandatory that a school provides. E-learning and e-teaching has standards and alignments to standards that ensure high quality e-teaching and e-learning first finding the underlying molds or beliefs. Than finding and listing the essential practices of high quality teaching and learning and their definite attributes by displaying how to put them to practice.

Computer based learning, as it stands, has plenty of disadvantages, but many in business and educational arenas remain optimistic about its future. There are two indisputable truths about computer-based learning, or e-learning. First, it will revolutionize education and second, such a future is just around the block. Educational experts agree that most types of study are not yet effective when delivered purely online, mainly because of bandwidth limitations, expensive set-up costs, continued resistance to the medium and a shortage of quality course content.

The use of e-learning in schools has evolved from an industry where it has been used both effectively and not so effectively, for training staff. Moreover, e-learning has improved the delivery of curricula which can be self-paced and accessed

E learning has become a part of our world for quite some time now. From learning how to operate a mobile, how to cook, career skills, everything is being learnt online. It has gained a lot of popularity among the younger generation over the past decade. Nowadays, you don’t need to go to a college to get a degree or learn something. All you need is an internet connection to access lectures of your favourite subject online. And not only subjects it can be a skill like coding or a career oriented program like digital marketing. The broader perspective of eLearning varies from distance education, learning online, computerized electronic learning, blended learning, etc which makes it more appealing to the public. Though there has been a tremendous growth in this field still many people are very reluctant towards it thus we need to implement new technologies to cater more and more people towards it. This paper gives a perspective on new technologies that can be blended with e-learning to cater the needs of more and more people by making teaching effective as well as efficient. Also it compares these various technologies on various aspects like course embedment and scopes in various e-learning fields. This paper also raises the issues that can be solved using these technologies and how it would be beneficial for the e-learners.

Today in the United States, students are graduating from high school and are choosing to make attending college a high priority after graduation. Some school districts are helping their students reach their goal of getting accepted into college by providing tutoring for the ACT and SAT, but some schools are not providing a model for students on what they could be majoring and minoring when entering college. With Advanced Placement courses, students can realize what college will be like and if they would need to enter college with pursuing certain job titles. Thinkers like John Dewey, Sir Ken Robinson and John Locke, all had different beliefs on education, but ultimately agreed that education should be cultivating, realistic and beneficial for all students no matter their interests or dreams. I believe students are more successful when introduced to higher academic courses such as Advance Placement courses while in high school. With students being introduced to higher academic courses, they increase their chances of attending college, gain better knowledge on what they may want to pursue in college and in the real world, and can increase their likelihood of college entrances and scholarships.

In the early ages people did not pay much to go to college. With only a high school diploma they were able to get good jobs. However, the world has change this days, in order to have a good paying job, people need higher education such as special training, bachelor degree, Masters, or doctoral. This has caused education to be more expensive; the annual college rates increase every year. Most student are leaving college with greats amount of debt and some cannot even afford to pay them. One of the student name Alicia, describes the challenges she faced after graduating from college. She was studying and she never realize if she is the one who will pay for her education. She decided to go to out of state's university which cost a lot of money and all that money she borrow them(Lacial, et al). After she finish school she did not afford to pay the money back so she regretted why she went to college. According to the Unemployment rates and earnings by educational attainment, 2016, student with lower education such as high school diploma, associate's degree , and bachelor's has the highest rates of unemployment (11). The more education students have, the more jobs opportunities. If they do not have a higher education like master degree of doctoral is sometimes hard to get a job.This affect student who only have associate and bachelor degree because they need to pay their loans and yet they still have had time in finding a job.

Young adults are forced to make many stressful decisions nowadays. Many of these important decisions will arise during and around the high school years. Although most all of these decisions will have an impact on their future, the choice of whether to go straight to college or into the workforce will have the greatest. Many soon to be high school graduates spend lots of time researching and attempting the find the best path for themselves. Most come to the conclusion, for various reasons, high school graduates benefit from higher education and, thus, these young adults should avoid immediate entrance into the workforce.

Former president Bill Clinton once said, “if we want to invest in the prosperity of our nation, we must invest in the education of our children so that their talents may be fully employed”. Higher education in the United States has not always been a primary focus for everyone for but it has been something that people aspire to achieve at some point in their lives. George Washington, the first president of the United Sates, on January 8th,1790 mentioned to Congress that there should be a national University but the Congress thought otherwise. During the making of the United States, the founding fathers figured that anything pertaining to education should be left up to the sates (Archbald,23). In the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the United Sates, there is no mention of education and how it should be handled. Nearly two centuries later, in the late 1930’s and 1940’s America had begun to change their focus from durable goods and their investments in education to an economy geared for war. After World War II ended, the attention of the United State reverted back to education. The United States took extraordinary measures to enable citizens to achieve the American dream which included a nation where people of all income levels could afford college (Collinge,1). Higher education was mainly for the upper class which hindered those in the middle and lower class. Majority of those that were in the middle and lower class only possessed a high school diploma. In 1944

E-learning rises up out of the parallel idea of email. Email is ordinarily depicted as the action of transmitting "mail" with machines and systems. In the same way, e-learning alludes to learning exercises that include computers and networks. E-learning does not oblige learning materials to be conveyed by computer, yet computer and networks must be included in this sort of learning.
