Myth#2 Digital Learning is only for the gifted children

One key component of learning through digital mediums is personalized learning. Based on learning style and habits, students can easily opt for the suitable medium. For instance, if a student finds learning through visuals more effective, he/she can opt for videos while the one who can retain information by listening to it can go for audio lectures.

The student’s needs and abilities are at the center. The course is individualized based on student’s strengths and weaknesses. One of the most important and ignored reasons for failure is that we follow what works for others, without attending to our personal requirements. We can only become our best selves if we tap and work on our unique characteristics rather than following the crowd.

Myth#3 Online learning doesn’t offer quality because it’s too cheap.

Digital learning is no doubt low cost and within economical range, but this doesn’t mean it compromises with the quality of education. Recorded video lectures, e-books, and audio recordings along with additional benefits of personal attention, time and place flexibility offer high-quality education even through digital learning mediums.

Digital learning is available in any form along with any feature that you desire. You can attend classes on desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. You can have portable lectures in form of compact and concise audio lectures condensed into your pen drive, for which you don’t need the internet connection. You can carry your classroom on your device and connect with your personal tutor over video conferencing for an interactive session.

Myth#5 Learning through digital mediums doesn’t offer personal attention of teachers.

This myth stops parents as well as students from adopting digital learning mediums. But, students get the same attention of the teachers in live interactive classes as they get in physical classes. Teachers pay due attention to each student and focus on one-to-one interaction.

Further, a chapter once done in the class is considered complete. Classroom teaching is according to the general level of understanding, not an individual level of understanding.
