How Online Learning Can Help Us in the Automation Race

If you search “will robots take my job” in your browser, you will find a website that lists the automation risk level for each occupation within two decades.

In Search of (Lost) Traditional Learning – Is It Viable in the 21st Century?

Has online learning killed traditional learning? Can they coexist? Or, together, can they form something great? When I decided to write about traditional ways of learning, I was sure there was something to write about. But I wasn’t sure exactly what. I looked at some traditional learning and teaching methods, which gave me pause. Nearly each one turned out to be not entirely traditional. Wherever I looked, digital influences were making inroads.

Strategies for Online Learning Success

Internet-based learning is very popular. Knowing your learning style and motivations will help you study smarter, not harder. We tend to spend a lot of time online these days. Between watching funny YouTube videos, catching up on news and celebrity gossip, and binge-watching our favorite Netflix series, we even find the time to learn new skills.
