E-learning offers you the choice to study in the convenience and comfort of home, without having to travel. Therefore, classes are not disrupted by travel restrictions, health quarantines or even closure of schools. E-learning is the term most often used to describe learning that takes place over the Internet. Generally the learner connects to the learning site on the Internet where they have access to the course materials and make contact with the instructor and other learners who are taking the course. Learners navigate through the course materials, which present a series of links to a web of related materials. The course materials may take the form of text pages, graphics, audio, or video links. Communication between the learner and the instructor and between learners takes on many forms. This can comprise of email, an online bulletin board, messaging program, or in a chat room. Assignments are submitted by uploading to the web site or sent via email. At PurpleTrain.com, students can choose from an assortment of courses ranging from diploma level to even doctorate level to pursue. Online collaboration is alive and well on this platform through the use of discussion rooms and chat sessions. This is where a hive of online activity takes place with questions and answers flowing back and forth via these two modes. Besides the current features, the new Learning Management Centre provides an acknowledgement of submission of assignments, through which students can check if their assignments were safely uploaded. Also the course contents will also have a new refreshing and clean look, with drop-down lists for easy selection of subject topics for each module. Speed-wise, students are able to enjoy an ultra-smooth online session on PurpleTrain, up to almost 5 times the previous speed. So navigation within and through the various interaction tools on PurpleTrain will happen in the blink of an eye! Through e-Learning, students can still catch up on their studies by simply logging on and online facilitators or teachers can conduct the class online. An added advantage is that links to information on the Internet from sites around the world may offer perspectives different from the local viewpoint can be explored. As such, students do not have to miss out on any lesson materials simply by going online to study. This solution is safe, minimises unnecessary contact between all parties and yet allows many to continue studying from home. So if you'd like to find out more about e-learning at PurpleTrain, please
