Scrutinize Quality of Contents before Registering

An online examination preparation company implemented a survey of their 1,500 student members who are seniors in high school and found that 80 percent of them answered that internet education was effective.

These days, internet education providers offer educational environments where students can study by themselves, leaping beyond the limits of offline studying. Some of them even check what time the students have logged in and left the site, and what courses they have taken online.

-Which Site to Choose

Internet education sites currently number around 300 in Korea. Most of them charge course fees; therefore one has to pay special attention in choosing service companies.

Whether the contents are frequently upgraded, whether the company has a good reputation, whether the contents’ quantity and quality are substantial: one should carefully count these factors. Using a trial offer is a good method before registering for users. Avoid companies that charge users high fees.

Make sure to check the bulletin boards of the users and see what their complaints are.

-How to Make Optimal Use of It

Internet education services offer educational services according to subjects in various menus. Also, their systems have the students study by themselves following the seventh revision of the textbooks.

Therefore, look into the curriculum well before studying the materials and check the study schedule every day before starting.

Internet educational tools such as VOD player and electronic boards require additional program installation, so one needs to check one’s computer system.

Textbook studying is divided into commentaries, chapter studying, and exercises. The exercises can be printed to be solved. English classes can enhance students’ skills through speaking lessons of native speakers.

With a new semester starting now in March, students can make the best of their internet education with preparation classes for the new semester in computer, foreign languages, and other subjects as well as selective studying of one’s favorite subjects.

-One Has to Learn How to Study by Oneself

Concentration and patience are required in internet studying. Internet education is supposed to complement one’s weak points in studying, and the studying effects will be proportional to one’s efforts to best understand the online lectures.

Make up notepads of wrong answers and right answers and try to understand difficult questions while using bulletin boards. Students have to make efforts for the full understanding of the materials while repeatedly listening to the lectures in which they are weak. For instance, if one thinks that he or she is weak in differentiation and integral calculus, one should particularly listen to those lectures. When choosing internet education sites, it is important first to check whether the site offers selective lecture services.

“If the parents check their children’s log-in time and watch them study online as well as checking their studying schedule, the studying will be much more effective,” said Choi Nam-suk of Daekyo Corporation’s E-business team.
