Online teaching
Hello everyone! 
Have you ever heard about online teaching? I am sure you know something about it. If not here I am going to share with you some information about online teaching? How important is it to our students? Is it effective or not? 
The current challenges facing traditional colleges have caused many students to search for alternatives. Based on some studies and statistics, nearly three million students currently enrolled in fully online degree programs and six million taking at least one online course as part of their degree program. This fact has made online education one of the most popular higher education alternatives. Online learning can be just as effective as face-to-face education.
Why do the vast majority of students prefer online courses rather than the traditional ones? There are some reasons for this decision:
  1. Variety of programs and courses. Students can find online courses or degree programs they need. 
  2. Lower total costs: Online programs can be a more affordable alternative than the traditional colleges. There are no costs and there is not any required course materials such as textbooks because those are often available for free online.
  3. The environment is more comfortable than the traditional one. Lectures and other materials are electronically sent to the student, who will then read them and complete assignments. Students will not have to fight traffic, find parking spaces, leave work early to go to class, or miss family time.
  4. More interaction and greater ability to concentrate. In an online classroom you can feel comfortable and you have the ability to concentrate. The lesson is interactive too.
To sum up, students in online programs are able to manage time, learn the materials that are presented and of course complete assignments required. 

Have you have heard about Khan Academy?
It is an education organization created by Salman Khan in 2006 with the goal of creating a set of online tools that help to educate students. 
here you will find some information about it.
