Exam preparation using e-learning

E-learning is a learning system that allows students to improve their skills at their own pace, regardless of time, place, or content, by using electronic devices such as computers and mobile devices, and networks. The learning materials can be text, graphics, video, animation, etc. for effective learning.
 

Key points of e-learning

1. the effectiveness of education is not affected by the quality of teachers

In group training, the quality of the instructor may affect the effectiveness of the training, but in e-learning, all participants will receive the same content. However, with e-learning, all participants are exposed to the same content, which means that the same content can be taught without being affected by the quality of the instructor or the environment at the time.

2. No time and place constraints

Using the Internet, e-learning allows students to take courses in their own seats without being restricted by time or location. In addition, the person conducting the training does not have to spend time and effort arranging a venue or preparing printed materials. In group training, it is not possible to tailor training to each individual participant, and training tends to be homogenous. On the other hand, e-learning can provide an appropriate educational program according to the learning level of the participants, and a high educational effect can be expected.

3. Easy management of participants' understanding and progress

E-learning allows students to study at their own convenience, and is highly effective because it can be repeated as often as necessary to meet the level of understanding. With e-learning, the level of understanding and progress can be easily managed, and the points that the learner does not understand can be grasped, allowing for effective follow-up.
