Of course, self-study demands a greater degree of discipline than the traditional participation in
seminars or workshops, but for all those taking part, the rewards and return on time invested are
much higher. Nevertheless, the most effective solution is an intelligent mix of self-study and face-
to-face seminars and meetings.
Disadvantages
- E-learning takes a lot of self discipline of the student
- The bandwidth of internet is at the moment still to limited to download
contents, as streaming video, in a respectable time frame.
- The success of virtual study environments only works if the guidance is
optimum. When the students are not aware of all the user possibilities, they will
not be active 'users'.
