Benefits Of e-Learning

One of the myths of e-Learning is that there is very little interaction between students and facilitators. At PurpleTrain.com, we not only ensure that our lecturers are highly qualified and bring with them important industry experience, we also insist on compulsory trainings in e-facilitation. This allows them to take proactive measures encourage active student participation.

Benefit #3 : Lessons Conducted via e-Learning are Highly Interactive!

• E-Learning through PurpleTrain.com allows you to communicate freely without any fear
  Are you a shy guy? Are you the kind who'd walk into a classroom with your head bowed down, take your breaks by yourself and you're the first one out of the classroom at the end of the lesson? Have no fear, e-Learning is here! And to stay too!

  Though e-Learning via PurpleTrain.com, you don't have to worry about the possibilities of being jeered at or hearing chuckles from the back of the class (well for starters, there IS no classroom) when you ask a potentially silly question.

  So scrap away all apprehension and go right ahead and clear all your doubts!
  

• Speak or forever hold your peace!
  How many of us are fed up with that one particular nerdy study that constantly clamours for the lecturer's attention by asking question upon question.

  E-Learning through PurpleTrain.com allows you to speak freely to facilitators and fellow coursemates during synchronous chat sessions, thus allowing you to ask questions as and when they arise. And if time doesn't permit, our facilitators are contactable through email as well. Simply send your question and you will receive a response within 24 hours. It's as simple as that.
