Online Education

The test preparation market for standardized testing is full of books, CDs and DVDs apart from online content. Which form of learning is good ? Which is better?

There is no doubt that education must be made as accessible to every one as possible. For centuries, education has been limited to those who are privileged and belong to a certain social class. Even in the 20th century it was a limited resource in most parts of the developing world. But many things have helped it gain priority and become accessible to those who might have traditionally not have been privy to it. There were massive   undertaking of projects aimed at developing education all over the world by international organizations and in developing countries grassroots campaigns have helped the movement come a long way. And then we entered the age of the Internet.  

Internet is by far one of the most revolutionary tools of our time and virtually changes most things we do on day-to-day basis. It is also a tool that has revolutionized the process of learning like nothing before. It has transformed every room with a computer and an Internet connection into the vastest library and classroom one could ever imagine. And in the last few years, formal accredited education itself has become a virtual reality. Students can now work towards their high school diplomas, associate degree to Ph.D through accredited online courses.
