Distance Learning, Its Pros And Cons For Different Professions
People try to use the latest methods and implement the results of theoretical researches into practice
. It is obvious that some researches need practical experiments for providing strong evidence. However, some theories remain theoretical issues without appropriate experiments. On the contrary, not all the fields of science can check their theories in practice. For instance, theologists cannot say if various religious doctrines can be effectively evidenced. Technological progress is one of the elements that contributed greatly to the researches and research methods used in various sectors of science and study as well as industry and everyday life.
Distance learning as the advantageous one
Representatives of some professions are claimed to benefit from distance learning, whereas others should see everything with their own eyes and hear with their own ears. Distance learning can be considered appropriate for managers and educators because they can acquire knowledge via the Internet and implement it in practice. Representatives of the abovementioned specializations can use their notes from online lectures and researches conducted for writing academic papers. If you are working in hotel business at a lower level and want to become a hotel manager, you can become educated in business management with the help of distance learning. In this respect, you can acquire knowledge and see in life how the current manager of the hotel you work in implements (or probably fails to do that) certain theories and methods in practice.
Distance learning that would harm
If you saw the movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) starring Russell Crowe, you would know what does it mean to be in trouble and have no experienced doctor on the board. Health care is one of those sectors that should refuse the concepts of distance learning because would-be doctors should gain practical skills as well as theoretical knowledge. Besides, the internship programs are a part of the educational process.
