What are the Features of Web Education?
What are the features of Web Education?
- Web Education is a very high form of learning. In fact, it is the most unique and revolutionary form of education being made available worldwide today. It requires an independent, self-learning style outside the walls of a classroom. In ICOU, lessons are brought to the students worldwide in an amazing speed through the use of the website, a new feature of HI-TECH COMMUNICATION.
- While students study at their own pace and leisure, Web Education does not mean an open-ended schedule for going through the courses. A specific time is required from the students to finish the program.
- The Internet/E-mail will provide the avenue for interaction between student and the professor. This means that if the student has questions about the lesson, he/she can e-mail his/her professor for answers.

What is Web Education?
What is Web Education?
The world is fast changing. Education can no longer be confined in the four walls of the classroom especially with the changing nature and operation of communication technology.
Web Education is characterized by the physical separation of the student from the professor. The lessons are delivered or taught by the professor to his/her students all over the globe in a clear, distinct, and mercurial way through the use of the website.
This means that learning is not under the continuous, immediate supervision of professors present with their students in the classrooms. Interaction between the student and the professor, and vice versa, is done through the Internet/E-mail.
