In the blogosphere today you can find this post on Eductra.com. The topic of the post, continuing education. Author, Andy West discusses the growing popularity of continuing education in all fields. He cites the ease and convenience of online courses as the main reason for the rise in popularity in recent years.
Though Mr. West focuses his piece primarily on getting professional certification or advanced degrees to move forward professionally, much of what he says can apply to mandatory continuing education as well. Not only are online courses more convenient for those of us working full time, but the cost of these programs are much cheaper than live courses, both on and off-site.
In addition, because of the nature of the internet, these courses can be conducted at your own time. The courses stay very current, and professionals who complete them are finding that they are getting just as much information as they would at a live seminar, if not more. The value of continuing education is quite clear, and now more than ever it makes sense for people in a growing number of professions. The internet is changing the way we get information, and the online education trend is one that is not going away.
