No need to wait for the class to be scheduled in their area. Students will no longer depend on the needs of others to assemble a full class, and will have access to the trainer by e-mail. Amigos staff will continue to convert existing classes and develop new ones for the distance learning environment. Over the next 12 to 18 months, Amigos Members will see more and more classes become available over the Internet. In addition to self-paced courses, Amigos will expand into live online learning.
Some people benefit from the quiet calm of self-paced learning.
Others get the most from the social context of learning. Next year, when Amigos takes its distance learning initiative one step further with the addition of live electronic learning capabilities, students can still learn at their own place while they join with colleagues from across the region to share experiences and solve problems.
