Philosophy
All people, young and old, have their own best ways of learning. Educational specialists try to categorize them into "intelligences" or "modals" but in essence, a good teacher is one who can present material in a varied of ways for the benefit of the students. E-learning is one of those ways. Distance learning has been around for a very long time -- correspondence courses -- but now with the ability to connect to others through the internet, distance learning has become a very feasible and inclusive way of teaching. It allows people from all walks for life to come together for the learning experience, something that has not been possible until widespread internet accessibility. I believe that people learn best by experience, and by sharing their experiences and knowledge.
