Instructor-focused More “passive” learning Instructors “deliver” knowledge Outgoing, verbal, high-achieving, students participate the most Technology may be used, but is not central to the role of being a learner Various media may be used, but most delivery is by the spoken word, with some written support	Learner-focused More “active” learning Instructors “guide” the learners Instructors “model” good learning techniques A much greater percent of students actively participate in discussions Technology helps students explore resources and construct their own meanings Technology may help instructors use multiple forms of media, and reach a wider variety of learning styles

Online learnign is fine if you can dedicate time to doign it – most courses have an expiry date so once you have purchased a course, you need to make sure you complete it before your subscription runs out. However, it is a highly cost-effective way to get trained.
