Here is a perspective of how offline learning solution can complement shortfalls of online learning. This blog starts with the benefit of e-learning in general, cons of online learning solution and how offline learning solution can provide cost effective benefit to user segment who face the limitation of being online.
e-learning is electronic learning, and typically this means using a computer to deliver the part or all of a course. With advancement in technology and increasing use of electronic devices like laptops, smartphones and tablets eLearning has gained popularity. Fast paced lifestyle and increasing barriers of time and space has also contributed to the acceptance of e-learning solution. One of the biggest advantages that e-learning offers is the reach and easy accessibility at any time anywhere. This rapid growth in e-learning has exposed some of its shortcomings like- the need for good internet connectivity and security of e-learning content.
Many developing countries around the world have weak and underdeveloped broadband infrastructure which constitute a major drawback to the nationwide adoption of online e-learning services. Another factor affecting e-learning adoption is abysmal broadband internet penetration rate of less than 10% in most of the developing countries like India, Brazil & African countries. Being online is also challenging for frequent travellers as mobile networks are expensive and slow compared to their broadband counterpart. This becomes more challenging when it comes to accessing high-quality multimedia learning content. The user segment falling under this bracket is huge and will largely benefit if they can access e-learning courses without an internet connection.
Let us explore a cost effective feasible offline learning solution to address this problem.
Imagine if students can have all their textbooks / course materials on their laptop/tablet/mobile devices, then they can study at home even without internet connection. Highly engaging course materials in the form of video lessons, PPTs, PDFs and test questions with answers can greatly benefit students in understanding the course concepts. Making these course content accessible without internet on laptop/mobile/tablet devices will provide more flexibility and independence to students.
