E-Learning




According to me, E-Learning was just a process that would allow motivated seniors to enlarge their skills and raise their wages. My father tries to learn english with e-learning lessons provided from his company. But he is not motivated enough.


Actually, there's more to say about that (and more boring things, I must admit).


I've just read that e-learning can lead to a qualification. It makes sense, but i wouldn't have thought about it by myself (=too boring).
And it is more and more organized : the French University of Paris Dauphine has a platform dedicated to e-learning, and it logically leads to a degree (Licence or Master). But what the fuck, it costs 4.000 € a year. E-learning doesn't unfortunately rely on having high-speed connection : you sure need money.


There is another way to learn English, if you have quitted studies long time ago.
In Caen, for example, there is the IAE ("L'institut d'Administration des Entreprises"), supported by the European Union (like the most organisations of that type I guess), which seems to be well done, with an hotline, a cyberlibrary, videos, etc... Actually, I don't know if every e-learning section offer these tools ; if not, what's the point of running a e-learning service ?! The price is higher in Caen, it costs 6.000 € for a Master 2.




In a nutshell : don't quit the University, because learning will become so expensive later...
