Computer to aid education
Many parents who want to further their education find this very useful, but many other students also take advantage of the education they can get from their home computers.
I quickly learned the hard way that there is a new level of responsibility that is expected and required in college, but some students take a while to adjust to the new standards, which can cause serious problems if they are taking online courses.
Most instructors expect the student to have general computer skills, but students who still need to develop their skills won't be left behind as they would in an online course.
Computers are used to assist the education system in many different ways, but it is important to consider the implications of the rapid growth of online education. These "advances" can be just the opposite. The fact that students can get an education from their home is an advantage, but students usually fail to consider the consequences.
Taking courses online also requires students to become familiar with computers, but several other factors affect a student's success. These classes make higher education accessible to students who cannot attend a traditional university or college. They have greatly benefited students and teachers, but have not replaced the importance of group work, creative thinking exercises, and individual relationships with teachers and other students.
The rapid increase in the number of available programs is also causing major problems for students. A big problem is that many of the classes offered fall short of expectations.
Online teaching is an option that is being used by an increasing number of students. As the idea of incorporating computer-based tasks into traditional learning styles grows, professors are exploring different ways to ensure that their students are computer-literate. The use of computers in higher education is a big issue for students of today's generation.
There are many alternative ways to expose college students to computers without much risk. The courses require a lot of commitment and discipline that most undergraduates don't have until late in their education. Sitting in front of a computer all day and getting an education online would be unheard of for most elementary, middle, or even high school students. Students entering college or university now have the option of taking many of their courses online. For online education to benefit students and professors, many obstacles must be evaluated and overcome. The ability for students to log on to the Internet and search for assignments and grades is another convenience offered in some college courses.
What seemed like a reasonable decision with many options can end up being a disappointment and a setback for students. As a typical college student, I can relate to wanting to take the easy way out, but I also understand that important aspects of my education growing up are still important. This interaction and ability to relate and work with other people helps students develop skills that will be useful in many aspects of their adult lives, including their future employment. These aspects of computer use are very useful for both students and teachers. Because college is an adaptation to high school, many professors try to help their students make the transition. Students who take the time to work and seek help when they need it to appreciate the good grade they are getting and help their overall class average. While the importance of rapport in the classroom seems logical and practical, it is often viewed very differently when college students are involved.
They may not consider the fact that being a full-time student in online courses still requires a fair amount. We teach college students to take the easy way out instead of seeking out the best opportunities and working toward their potential. We are considered responsible adults who know what is expected, but most college students admit they were not prepared for the challenges they faced. These skills help in the education a student receives as they prepare to enter the world of work where computers will likely be related in some way to their occupation.
They are expected to use their email to contact professors and classmates, check grades, submit assignments, and perform many other basic tasks.
Computer software also allows students to practice subjects such as math without boring paper and pencil. Email is more practical than playing tag with a professor who probably has a hectic schedule, and it's also convenient for students to contact each other if needed. As this computer age prevails, companies face a tough decision; they can either get rid of old employees who can't keep up with the rapid changes in technology, or they can spend a lot of money on training current employees and keeping them up to date.
