TEXTO Courses Online For those students who struggle to leave their beds for a 9 a. M. lecture, the idea of studying online wherever and whenever you want – including under the duvet with a laptop – may seem like a dream come true. Soon some students will be able to do just that, as will anybody with a computer and internet connection, because a number of universities are planning to offer some of their courses online. Not only will these offer greater flexibility to online learners around the world, they will also be free. EdX, an online platform founded by Harvard, Berkeley and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has already attracted 800, 000 students from 192 countries since it started in autumn 2012. Significantly, the platform has developed an examination process, which means that online learners can graduate from an EdX course with a certificate and a grade. However, it seems unlikely, for the time being, that online higher education will supersede traditional on - campus university degrees. It is well - known that many leading institutions, including Oxford and Cambridge, are absent from a list of 17 universities that have signed up to give away their course content online. An obstacle preventing online courses from being taken seriously is the fact that many have a high drop - out rate. For instance, although 155, 000 students registered online to take MIT’s courses on electronics on EdX, only 7, 200 students completed them. With no tutors or lecturers to help you in person, selfmotivation and discipline are required in abundance to see a course through to the end.
