Makes a lot of sense. One of the arguments presented by a good friend of mine is that online education creates the illusion of life going on your terms, when in the ‘real world’, you fit yourself into the flow of life. He was pointing out that I seem to have the ‘luxury’ of taking a proctored exam whenever I feel well prepared and ready. Hypothetically, that means, I could also study one subject for a whole year before attempting an exam. Whereas, the traditional education system has dates set for exams, and you need to race against time to prepare yourself for those tests. He was kind of skeptical that I don’t seem to get stressed over tests at all, because I will attempt an exam whenever I am confident. I had to disagree and tell him that there are several exams/certification programs these days, that are offered year round, and could be taken whenever one is ready. But it made me think as to how many different reasons people need to conjure up to resist this changing trend in education. Embracing change is always so difficult!
