Its goal is to service the legal education marketplace through strategic alliances among educators, publishers, content providers, associations, organizations, and legal professionals. Student Centered Learning Classes are limited to 20 students to discuss issues, share ideas, and test legal theories. Expanding Legal Education More than one million students now take courses via distance learning compared with 13 million who attend on-site training programs.
Distance learning is now part of mainstream education.
Distance Learning Distance learning allows educational programs to expand their market. There will always be an important role for the traditional on-site classroom for entry level training. However, when professionals are seeking advanced or specialty education, it is usually to meet the job requirements for their current employer, or to maintain professional designations, career advancement, or to prepare for a career transition. Time is of the essence and commuting to a traditional classroom site may be inconvenient. All rights reserved.
