E-Learning, with its anytime, anywhere accessibility and flexibility has gained its popularity over the years. It allows potential students to enroll in courses, interact with faculty and fellow students, and receive a quality educational experience all while remaining at home. It fosters total ownership of the personal development process in the course at your own pace while being guided. Enrolment, advice, forms, processes, courses, faculty and other education services are delivered online to you. In other words, e-learning is about students and not educational institutions. It places the student at the center of the educational experience. PurpleTrain has worked with several established universities, some of which includes the world's most prestigious universities from the United Kingdom and United States. Salem International University (SIU), for instance, is a private, independent, liberal arts college based in West Virginia, USA. For a student who is outside the US, hoping to pursue an American education, but unable to actually travel to the US, e-Learning through PurpleTrain.com is the ideal way to earn a degree with an American curriculum. At the same time, online courses are affordable in comparison. For example, online courses are not priced based on proximity to the academic institution. Geographical boundaries simply do not matter anymore. Naturally, e-Learning is not the same as studying abroad. For those students with time, money and few responsibilities, travelling overseas for their education is still great for the exposure. For the majority of students who do not have the kind of resources required for an extensive stay in a foreign land, e-learning opens up a world of possibilities. The virtual classroom is a connection to that world, where collaborative learning comes alive with learners sharing their learning experiences with global classmates. In fact, a large segment of students already enrolled in on-line courses are working adults with families. The opportunity to study and learn at the computer in their own time and place is a windfall for these students. Again, at PurpleTrain, the student is in control of the educational process, and the institution recognizing that the student is the most important person in that process. For prospective students, its good to know that Salem International University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association (NCA) of Colleges and Schools, allowing transfer of credits or degree status from one college to another. In other words, credits earned are transferable and recognised by other regionally accredited colleges or universities. Visit
