The rapid development in information technology is set to make the average home a virtual (实质上的) university campus. E-study (or online study), the latest trend in distance education, could leave university traditions such as attending lectures, classroom discussion stuck in the 20th university. As long as you can dial up the Internet and type in your code, you are able to study on line.
The University of Southern Queensland ( USQ) has been one of the leaders in this field, with up to 29 courses available (可得到的) for online study. It has progressively made studying certain subjects possible on the Internet in the past few years. The university started to offer its first complete full Internet courses last year.
Studying from interstate and around the world is now a reality. Carla Powell, 33, has worked full-time while pursuing her degree (获得学位) in Education Online through USQ. She likes the flexibility (灵活性) of online study. “It's exactly the same as studying on campus, except that there is not the pressure of having to go to classes which I hate.” Powell says. She says that she enjoys the close relationship with the professors on the online courses. “You just have to e-mail them, and they reply quickly. There are some student support groups available to us,” she says.
The major benefit of online study is the flexibility. Powell says she intends to travel overseas soon but as long as she can find an Internet café, all she has to do is to sit at a computer and complete assignments (布置的作业) on the other side of the world.
Online study is changing the focus of education towards the customers—students. “There is a revolution taking place; online education will greatly change the way education is looked at,” Professor Taylor says.
