Distance Learning: Live Your Dreams

Education plays a very important role in one’s life. Today, people know the value of education. That is why Government is rolling out number of initiatives for making everyone literate. These initiatives are basically focused on school level education and there are scholarships for higher studies.

Apart from Govt. initiatives, private schools and colleges are also mushrooming up. In spite of so much focus on education, what if you are unable to study further due to certain circumstances or you do not get desired course or course in particular stream. In that case, Distance Education is the best option. With advanced technology anybody can avail the benefits of Distance Education.

In Distance Education, unlike regular courses students need not to be present in the classes. For example in Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), classes are held at weekends. These classes are optional. For technical courses where practical are must, 90% attendance is compulsory.

Apart from courses like B.A, B.Com, distance education is also available for professional and technical courses like Media Studies, Agriculture, Hotel Management, Pharmacy, Biotechnology, Travel and Tourism, Management, Engineering etc.

In this learning mode, a learning centre is provided to each student. Here students can avail the facility of library and can also solve their queries with the help of university professors. For professional courses, practical classes are held at the laboratory in the learning centre. In case of courses like B.Ed, Open universities generally tie-up with schools in order to conduct training for the students.

Now –a-days, teaching methodology is no more an issue for distance education. Power points, multi media, audio and video CDs, internet are the popular assistances used for teaching.

Distance education courses are of equal importance as regular courses. In India, there are 14 open universities. There are also dual mode universities that are running both distant learning and regular courses.

Distance Learning has helped many people in fulfilling their dreams. People living in far flung rural areas or those who are working and unable to continue their regular courses, can continue their studies through this learning mode
