In this way, e-learning breaks down the barriers that many people put between themselves and studying. It has made it possible for aspiring students to pursue their academic dreams, no matter where they're based or what their demands of everyday life.
The South African College of Applied Psychology (SACAP) is now offering two of their courses as online learning programmes. "This will enable South Africans, as well as international learners, to take part in a learning programme that retains our essence of teaching psychology in a practical and engaging way with a focus on application," says Lance Katz, MD of SACAP. "We take pride in knowing that our online offering in keeping with all our other programmes is theoretically robust and designed for the application of skills into real world settings, providing an experiential learning process."
With the launch of the two online learning programmes, SACAP will not be compromising on their approach of enabling students to have the many hours of practical experience they need in order to hone their knowledge and skills and develop confidence and work readiness. SACAP's online offering will be unique in that learners will have the opportunity to be involved in the practical application of the theory they have learned, giving them access to over 100 placement sites that SACAP has established relationships with in South Africa.
The internet has forever changed the way in which people learn, access and exchange information. It has become part of everyday life and in this context it has become possible, as well as more affordable, for many South Africans to pursue higher education. The flexibility that online learning offers makes it an attractive and viable option.
