Universities nationwide have broken new ground in curriculum delivery by implementing the Learning Management System to provide distant learners with material to aid in earning their degrees. Specialty schools are the first to mark such accomplishments as they have established numerous successful online degree programs utilizing a Learning Management System. Such curriculum includes interactive classes where students can interact with the material or with one another.

Jim Miller, a current Internet Marketing student is experience distant learning first hand. He is currently attending Full Sail University, Orlando based, while residing on the West Coast. He talks about his experience at Full Sail, while also maintaining a full time job. “It’s great because class is wherever you are. The convenience and flexibility of when you attend your class enables you to work your education around your career which helps to facilitate both endeavors.”

The Learning Management System has created a system that allows students to receive help around the clock with the 24/7 mentorship in which students can receive further tutoring with highly experienced trainers. Additional help in the curriculum is not the only thing that serves as a major benefit, but the chance for students to experience various different types of teaching methods to identify which method works best for them.

With every solution there is always an awaiting problem. Depending on the curriculum layout or the Professor’s preference, some courses require students to participate in group projects. This may cause major headaches with students having to factor in time difference, plan around work schedules, or even having to pick up the slack from lesser motivated students. This can hurt the integrity of a program and as a result evaluations are regularly conducted to ensure the curriculum layout successfully delivers the material the student and effectively conveys the material.

When Jim Miller was asked how he felt the quality of the Learning Management System and in class curriculum compared in quality and dynamics he states, “”The only difference that I have experienced is that you are not physically in the classroom. I feel the quality of the curriculum and the concepts I am being taught are held at the same standard and uphold the same quality at any other University attending an in-person course.”

While some Universities have not implemented a Learning Management System online learning program, there are many signs evident that they may not be too far off. Some Professors are currently using components of online learning to hold class sessions via chat room on the school’s secured site. People’s curiosity has rapidly accrued and they are beginning to acknowledge just how much easier the Learning Management System makes the learning experience for students, especially those who have conflicting schedules and are trying to hold down a steady job while they pursue their degree.
