Yes, most of your learning is online. Here are the reasons why.
Students Learn Better Online:
- Better Student Performance
Research by the US Department of Education has shown online learning students have often performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction as they spend more time on their tasks. (ref: http://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/tech/evidence-based-practices/finalreport.pdf) - Become Confident Learners
Students are less intimidated online as compared to a traditional classroom as it gives them an environment to voice out and share their ideas without having to fear mistakes. - Communicate Effectively with Teachers
Students can approach teachers more easily online as they can be more comfortable when interacting openly with them as compared to a face-to-face meeting. This method of learning gives students a sense of more personal support in terms of counselling and can reduce the waiting time to meet teachers as seen in traditional institutions. - Online Guidance
Students are not necessarily seen as being left alone to learn the entire course. Online facilitators and lecturers will be on hand to help guide and counsel students should the need arises. - Forge New and Lasting Friendships
Although learning online lacks a traditional brick and mortar campus, students can still socialise with their peers and coursemates who are undertaking similar courses/subjects in an online community which they can then contribute to and facilitate online learning.
It’s Effective and Convenient:
- Study Anywhere, Anytime
Students can access their courses anywhere, anytime as long as they have access to the Internet. - Accessibility
Students can access their courses at home, on their laptop or while on the move using their mobile devices. - Self-paced Learning
Students learn at their own pace and time without being tied down to a rigid schedule that may be inconvenient to them and affecting their learning ability. - Variety of Subjects and Teachers
Online learning allows for a variety of subjects/ courses to be enrolled in which may not be available in some brick and mortar institutions.
Reduced Extremely High Education Cost:
- Cost-saving
Online learning reduces the cost of having to make arrangements for travel, accommodation and facility expenses that students may or may not utilise as normally incurred in a traditional learning environment. - Textbooks
Online learning no longer requires students to buy expensive physical textbooks which they may or may not utilise completely. This programme comes pre-packaged with access to e-libraries and e-textbooks that students will need during their courses.

"The Canadian Pre-University programme is truly a globally recognised programme. It not only exposes a good variety of courses that promotes personal development and academic excellence, more importantly it opened doors for me to pursue my further education in the University of British Columbia, which subsequently led to my recent summer programme in University of Cambridge."
