Kay Khaing is certainly an enthusiastic e-learner – she clocked in the highest level of participation rate amongst all her course mates. She never misses a chat session and at the discussion threads, her name constantly appears with either a question or an opinion. She finds her facilitators highly knowledgeable and responsive. The facilitators for SIU courses on PurpleTrain.com are the university’s own lecturers and are therefore experts in the course work. The idea that she is part of an international virtual class with course mates from all over the world is very exciting and intellectually stimulating. “Because of our different cultural backgrounds, the ideas and opinions that are put across are so diverse and refreshing. Without e-learning I would not have had the chance to study together with people from so many different countries”, Kay Khaing explained. And what does she think of her American education done via e-learning?
She feels that the course work is very practical in nature – knowledge
that you apply directly into business. And since American business is
the dominant force in the global economy today, Kay Khaing believes that
what she has learned will definitely be very applicable in her future
career.

for a double mission – to pursue two separate degrees simultaneously.
This ambitious feat is possible because one of the degrees is pursued

Khaing is pursuing both an American and a British degree because she wants
to keep her options open. She intends to go on to an MBA programme, and
these two degrees will allow her to choose either route when the day comes.
How does she take on two degree courses simultaneously? Most of her taught
classes at Informatics Centre are scheduled on the first half of the day.
Her e-learning course, on the other hand, is totally flexible and carried
out at her convenience, which she does mostly in the evenings.
