Although computers have become very common in today’s world but the accompany technology and people who are computer savvy are yet to in majority. Hence people who are technologically challenged will not be able to take full advantage to online courses.

· Many people who opt for distance learning courses have had troubles with employers as still companies prefer people with traditional degrees over people who have obtained their degrees through a computer. The root of this prejudice lies in the mindsets of people who think that education can only be imparted in the popular environment of the school.

Often it has been seen that these interactions help in building the person’s personality. And while undertaking the course they study alone from their home, as a result students sometimes lose their motivation to study and that can affect their career as a whole.

The major difference of correspondence and the traditional learning that we know is how the information is delivered to the student. In getting an MBA through correspondence, the information is delivered either through mail or online message boards. Materials such as books, CD and videos are sent to the student through mail.

Some schools conduct their MBA classes and lectures through video discussion and they send it to the student through mail. There are many advantages in having an online MBA program. Some school would record an on-campus class discussion and sends it out to the students of the online MBA program through DVD. Thus the students will still have the same instructions and lessons with those of the one on the on-campus students.

There are many schools online that offer MBA programs online. These schools use the latest in technology to have quality classes and MBA graduates. MBA classes would usually run up to 2 years depending on the program that you have enrolled with. These schools that offer MBA through correspondences uses interactive tools and examinations for the students and the instructors to have a better understanding of their lesson.

Most of the information that a student gets from a correspondence MBA program is juts similar to that of any distance learning programs. Since on both programs the Internet is used to deliver and collaborate both the ideas of the student and the instructor.

The face of education has changed drastically over the years and distance learning also evolved with it. Now with better mail service and most importantly internet has made our lives easier and now we can pursue any course and not bother about the distance being the hindrance. Initially this concept was not accepted by many universities as they thought that this method was corrupting the education and was changing the very foundation of our education system.

They argued that since the beginning of education, a physical presence of teachers is always required as it provides a learning environment to the students. But after resistance and gradually improving technology, distance education and E learning have finally found their rightful place and almost all the universities across the world now offer many E learning courses. And now computers and internet have made it to such a level that we can create a complete virtual classroom right from the comfort of our home.

However the only glitch is that people with distance education degrees still have prejudiced notions against them and employers prefer people with traditional style degrees. Although the way technology is progressing, the day doesn’t seems to be far when people start respecting online degrees more that the traditional ones.

Though many universities still employ the old method of delivering books and making students appear for pen & paper exams at centers of their preference, this format is dying a slow death. Apart from the science and technology courses where experiments have to be conducted and designs to be submitted, all correspondence courses are gradually opting for the online format.

Today, the correspondence learning courses are well drafted and formatted. The language used is simple and lucid making it easier for the students from all walks of the society to understand and pursue a career of their choice. Moreover, you can get admission to these courses seven when you are in one the remotest corners of the country. All that you require for it is a computer having access to the web. Even if that is not available, you can apply for the courses that provide education through books and then go to an examination center of your choice to appear for the exams.

Most of the national and state universities that offer correspondence learning courses either announce the results online or deliver them to the student’s addresses by post or courier. Thanks to such courses, the level of education and knowledge is increasing in India and as a result of this increase in the standard of education many Indian universities have also started offering correspondence education facilities to foreign nationals based overseas.
