I am about to embark on a 5 day virtual course . I sit here and hope the Broadband speed will perform as well as it has been doing in the last few months. It doesn’t matter what my course is suffice to say it is something to do with Databases and Software.
This time next week I will be learning real time with like minded people from across the Globe via the (Internet and Broadband) I could have waited for a real human course however courses are everywhere but West Midlands. I didn’t feel obliged to doing damage to my wallet/purse or my own Carbo footprint.
I have picked up the Gaunlet and thought, I dont want to spend money on petrol, hotels, waste time travelling and decided that doing a virtual course online would not only save me time and money. It would go a small way to decreasing my carbon footprint.
I really do understand that there is a requirement to have some meetings Face to Face in person/groups. The internet will never quite take the place of real life contact. But if used correctly the internet could help the world save not just my travelling footprint but many more
I don’t for one minute think my learning experience wont be without its technical hiccups but the important thing is I think it is acheiveable.
If it is a crock of S*** I will let you know, however for the moment I think the world is everyones oyster.
