ONLINE LEARNING – PARADIGM SHIFT IN THE EDUCATIONAL SPACE

Summary/Abstract: IN THIS RESEARCH PAPER ARE HIGHLIGHTED THE MAIN BENEFITS (ADVANTAGES) AND DRAWBACKS (DISADVANTAGES) WHICH ARE INVOLVED BY THE ONLINE LEARNING MODEL, RESULTING FROM THE AUTHORIZED OPINIONS AND SCIENTIFIC ARGUMENTS FORMULATED BY ACKNOWLEDGED EXPERTS IN EDUCATIONAL MATTERS. FURTHERMORE, ARE DEPICTED THE EFFECTIVENESS ASPECTS OF AN ONLINE LEARNING SYSTEM, SUCCEEDED BY THE INVESTIGATION OF THE HETEROGENEOUS RESULTS OBTAINED BY THE PARTICIPANT STUDENTS AT THE DIDACTIC ACT AND OF THE ENDOGENOUS ELEMENTS CORRESPONDING TO THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT CHOICE. THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOMS ARE STARTING TO LOSE THEIR MONOPOLY AS LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, IN THIS APPROACH SCENARIO. MOREOVER, THE INTERNET FACILITATES ONLINE LEARNING, THEREFORE A LOT OF RESEARCHERS AND TEACHERS ARE INCREASINGLY BECOMING MORE AND MORE INTERESTED OF PERFORMING THE DIDACTIC WORK IN THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT DUE TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE STUDENT RESULTS AND TO THE SIGNIFICANT DECREASE OF THE RESOURCES CONSUMPTION WHICH IS CAUSED BY THE CLASSICAL-TRADITIONAL LEARNING MODEL. UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR THE PERFORMERS INVOLVED IN THE EDUCATIONAL ACT TO CONSIDER THE ADVANTAGES GENERATED BY THE ONLINE TEACHING-LEARNING SYSTEM IN CONTRAST WITH THE CLASSIC MODEL WHICH SUPPOSES DIRECT INTERACTION, UNMEDIATED PROFESSOR – STUDENT. RELATIVELY TO THE SUBJECT ANALYSED IN THIS STUDY, IT CAN BE STATED THAT THERE ARE EVOKED SOLID ARGUMENTS IN THE DEDICATED LITERATURE, WHICH SUGGEST THAT THE ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT IS AT LEAST AS EFFECTIVE AS THE CLASSIC-TRADITIONAL MODEL. THUS, ONLINE LEARNING UNEQUIVOCALLY REPRESENTS A CONSTANTLY EXPANDING ENVIRONMENT WHICH ALLOWS TO ITS USERS THE FLEXIBILITY TO WORK OUT OF ANY SPACE OR TIME CONSTRAINS.
