While many still believe that traditional classroom-based training is the most effective way to learn and remain skeptical about its potential for success, Tho Teon Hian already ventured into e-learning, logging onto PurpleTrain’s website and tried his first e-learning course. Having completed his Advanced Diploma In Computer Studies through Informatics Kuching CitiCampus in Malaysia in 2000, Teon Hian decided to pursue his degree online. Today, he is one of the proud graduates of PurpleTrain.com. Unlike attending a traditional classroom, e-learning freed him from the hassle of commuting from one place to another just to attend an assigned class session, at a fixed schedule. With e-learning, attending a class is just a mouse-click away. Teon Hian enjoyed the flexibility of anytime-anywhere-learning, at his own convenience. So what makes him take up e-learning? The 23-year-old e-learner said: “I’m glad that I’ve made the right choice. E-learning is not only time-saving but also more cost effective, therefore making higher education more attainable.” “Most importantly of all, this is a UK honours degree. It is one of the most sought after qualifications from UK. I really can't imagine I can obtain such a highly recognised qualification at such an affordable price without leaving my hometown,” he further added. According to Teon Hian, the course fees for an online Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computing degree programme awarded by the University of Portsmouth (UK) is reasonable and affordable. PurpleTrain would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Teon Hian and all its graduates for their persistence and perseverance in e-learning. Said PurpleTrain’s Executive Director Rajinder Singh "It’s our mission to bring education equally accessible and affordable to all, helping learners overcome money, career and time constraints.” According to IDC, almost every college student has access to the Internet.
Computer usage in colleges and universities is almost a requirement at
this point. Some universities require students to have a PC upon enrollment.
In line with its corporate mission to provide lifelong learning through e-learning, PurpleTrain will continue to expand its efforts in e-learning with a goal of providing quality programmes, making it as convenient as possible to cater to the learning needs of today’s learners.
