Today it is almost impossible to imagine our lives without internet.  Internet has become a major part of young people’s life and, much like oxygen, water, or electricity, are assumed to be a basic condition of modern life. Since the advent of internet, everyday lives of people has been changed drastically. The world of education has also drastically changed due this advancement.
Education sector has broken away from the traditional four walls, chalks and talks method. Teachers use the internet to supplement their lessons and impart knowledge to their students. They use online materials to prepare lessons. Interactive teaching methods, supported by the internet, enabled teachers to give more attention to students on one on one basis. According to World Economic Forum, India holds an important place in the global education industry and has also become the second largest market for e-learning after US.
Education enables individuals to build more prosperous and successful lives and societies to achieve economic prosperity and social welfare. Access to Internet has opened doorways to the wealth of information and immense knowledge. It has also increased opportunities for learning in and beyond the classroom.
Students are seeing Google as a new teacher and the Internet as a school. At the click of a mouse, they can search out various information within seconds. Students can access to free video lectures online and refer to encyclopedias and study materials. Now we have YouTube, content rich websites, dictionaries everything on our fingertips. Widespread use of the internet has opened up a substantial amount of knowledge to a much broader range of people than ever before.
Increased accessibility of education at all levels has turned out to be a great repository of knowledge. People who have hectic schedule can benefit from online learning. Various free online courses are being offered by different institutions for everyone. Universities such as Harvard, Yale and Stanford have opened up free courses on a variety of subjects that are accessible to anyone for free. A number of IIMs and IITs too are now collaborating with top foreign universities to offer free online courses. These courses are cost effective and can be accessed by anyone at the any corner of the world.
Internet has allowed students to be in touch with their students 24×7. They can ask any doubts and queries irrespective of the time. Now with the help of social media, chat apps and email, students can attend the lecture which they have missed. Thus, internet has not only made education easily available to everyone in any corner of the world but it has only made our nation educated.
Internet is much faster than traditional education mediums. It cost relatively less than the regular courses of the universities. Anyone irrespective of their status and income can easily avail the courses offered online. People have opportunity to choose from the various courses, from the tough engineering courses to the cooking and fitness ones. Internet does much more than imparting knowledge. It is a storehouse of knowledge and one can definitely benefit from it if used wisely.
