  1. BCA distance education is like boon for those students who stopped there study only because they can not attend the traditional classes due to some reasons. Thanks for sharing this valuable information.

  2. I have very mixed feelings about distance and blended learning. If it is used for a single class, or for someone incapable of attending a school, then I understand. However, I personally do not like the idea of K-12 students taking several classes, or more, without a physical instructor. As a graduate school student I have found SJSU SLIS to be rather isolationist. I like the convenience, but not having classmates was especially difficult the first year. SJSU also decided to reevaluate online classes after low passing rates for undergraduates. I worry that K-12 students will not have the motivation to complete classes without classmates and teachers they see every day to keep them on-track.

  3. I just know that online classes are gaining popularity with younger students. I, for one, loved the flexibility with the online format. I wonder if those that are truly uncomfortable with it are just used to the other format.

  4. Improvising one's knowledge is the biggest thing can be done in a life time. So as you have said above the best curriculum at the right time would make a lot changes to our life. Thank you very much for sharing this. I feel so grateful to you.
