Although students take the course at their convenience, they are never alone. An instructor can monitor the WhiteBoard and offer immediate feedback. While Ventilator Waveform Analysis is the first Internet course he has coauthored for the Michener Institute, Williams is no stranger to online education. Williams also worked with occupational health and safety professionals to create an online occupational health and safety training program. The course provides federally mandated Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System training to employees, while saving employers money, Williams says.
Cost savings are similar for other Internet courses.
Once other institution learn of these potential cost savings, Williams predicts an online course boom at both post graduate and undergraduate levels. Education as we all think of it is changing very quickly.
