I have to admit I spend an awfully long time online, my job requires it, my previous college/university projects required it. Over the past few years the internet has helped me tremendously in my learning experiences. Most of the time during college /university programming projects I never used to ask the lecturers how to solve a problem due to lack of faith in them, I was never satisfied with the answers I received, most of them if they didn’t know would say “Google it” or am sure if you search the web you will find the answer so most of the time I resorted to finding my own answers online. This may be different for other people as I’m in programming field most of the materials are in abundance via the web.

I believe what makes you a brilliant student is not always about going to the best universities in the world or the most expensive institutions, all that is great and I encourage it, but its about taking it upon your self to take the initiative to want to learn and take that extra step to self learn and go beyond just the assignments, explore different areas in your subject field and always continue to look for more challenging tasks to get you to think and expand your thought process.

Gone are the days where you had to pay a hefty tuition fee in order to attend a course or college/university. Given the time and the will to learn you can pretty much about learn most of the things online if you just take out the time to search for it.
Web learning gives you an alternative means of learning. And for those of us you might not have the cash to go off to Massachusetts Institute of Technology or Stanford , online learning is definitely an alternative or a supplementary option.

I have started to see a increasing growing number of institutions offering online educations for free, its amazing how some of this great content is been offered to the public at zero cost. This enables any person to rip the benefits with out having spend and you can further your knowledge and training for less than even the cost of buying a book.
