International Symposium 2010!!!

It should be noted that recent technological advances has really increased the amount of the available information and also improved the accessibility of such information. There are various barriers to online teaching that is actually being experienced by most scholars. First, this is not a face to face form of learning and thus you are dealing with a machine system. Therefore, there is lack of technological assistance in case you find that you cannot access the classes due to a sudden breakdown of your machine. This will make you miss some classes since teaching will not stop due to inconveniences of your computer. Many people lack independent learning skills and thus they find themselves having difficulties with private studies since they have got used to face to face teaching and accessing resources from a local library. There is also lack of adequate time-frame to implement online courses. This is because people are busy all the daylong and little time may be allocated to studies. There is increased time required for both the online contacts and the preparation of activities. You find that it is essential to always contact the online tutor for updates and this actually need time. Finally, there is high cost of learning materials as opposed to the other traditional way of learning whereby, one could access a local library free of charge.
