School Forever
Classes and homework are not only for children. Not anymore. This is the opinion of one of the online course providers Jason Underwood. He believes education is going to become a lifelong process for those who are at school or university now. The professional world is very competitive nowadays, and to keep up with rivals one needs to update qualifications on a regular basis. If a person wants to go further, to get promoted, and to keep his skilled job, he'll have to master his skills and upgrade his qualifications regularly.
The job-for-life tendency seems to have ceased to exist. The world is changing rapidly: specialists of your profession are in great demand now, but soon you may find the job market has changed, and you may need to obtain another qualification to avoid being left behind.
It's obvious that a person who has a full time job can’ t give it up in order to attend classes. The internet is the resource which enables people to combine work and study. Online courses provide vast opportunities in education and development to everyone, regardless of their age, job, and location. Jason Underwood believes that the technological advantages of distant education are evident and it will soon replace the old model of education with its compulsory lecture and seminar attendance. "If you do an online course," he says, "you can just log on, i.e. enter the educational resource by typing your login, and listen to the lecturer, or read the printed version of the lecture. You have access to lots of audio and video topic-related clips and you can watch them again and again. You can record them for later use in case you wish to run through them for your exam. And if anything needs clarification or if you've got questions, you can apply to your tutor or the lecturer via the e-mail. And even when it's time to sit your course exam, there's often no need to come to the real classroom — you can submit assignments and take exams via the internet."
Access to libraries without commuting and studying at a convenient time is a real advantage for students of any ages, and absolutely vital for adult students. Though not all distance courses are run quite effectively yet, in regard to lifetime education the concept of lectures and tutorials held entirely in the classroom has already gone.
