Один из важных критериев развития человека — постоянное самообразование. Люди всегда стремятся к чему-то новому, стараясь получать с этих знаний дорогу к другим возможностям. Это касается достижений в период обучения в школах или университетах, обычной бытовой жизни, достижениях на рабочем месте, а также общего развития.

С появлением цифровых технологий и умного оборудования обмен информации достиг максимальной скорости, с этим же увеличилось ее количество. Пользователи сети могут в два клика найти нужную статью в интернете или отправить кому-то сообщение, купить книгу либо посмотреть полезное видео на любую тему. Если ранее на передачу информации могло уходить до одного года, то сейчас обменяться знаниями можно меньше чем за минуту. Люди ежедневно просматривают новостные ленты, читают других пользователей в социальных сетях, общаются и отправляют созданный контент своей аудитории. Помимо базовой коммуникации в цифровой среде, сюда также вошла сфера образования как важная часть развития личности.

The development of a new “era” of education

There are hundreds of different Online learning platforms, где преподаватели или молодые практики делятся своим опытом с другими людьми. Это могут быть живые лекции, предварительно записанные семинары, красивые презентации, а также интерактивные квесты. Способов получить знания уже очень много, и каждый из них опирается на требования целевой аудитории вместе с ее возможностями. Для детей были придуманы интерактивные квесты или мини-игры, где в интересной форме ребенок получает новую информацию параллельно с развлечением. Вместе с этим для младшего возраста предусмотрены развивающие игрушки, музыкальные книги и даже детские ноутбуки с примитивной электроникой. Все это относится к маркетингу и следованию трендам, но изначально это создавалось для развития нового способа коммуникации и совместимости с миром технологий.

Если говорить про более зрелую аудиторию, то для нее создаются отдельные крупные онлайн-школы и сервисы дистанционного образования. Обучение на таких платформах уже частично заменяет стандартный подход к получению знаний, включая учебу в ВУЗах и профильных заведениях. На рынке труда можно встретить много экспертов, которые окончили спецшколы и уже владеют объемным портфолио с проектными достижениями. На развитие онлайн образования также влияют тренды с применением маркетинговых инструментов. В социальных сетях или на тематических ресурсах можно встретить много рекламы и «джинсовых» статей о сильных сторонах дистанционного обучения. В них говорится о свежести получаемой информации, практических заданиях, а также трудоустройстве с высоким окладом. Эти факторы хорошо мотивируют потенциальную аудиторию, создавая при этом увеличенный спрос и появление новых проектов в будущем. Каталоги образовательных ресурсов обновляются регулярно, о чем говорит общая популярность этой тематики.

Еще один весомый фактор популярности онлайн-образования — вынужденный переход на дистанционную форму. Из-за новых карантинных ограничений большая часть предприятий вместе с учебными центрами перешли на удаленную форму работы. Изначально такой подход сразу был подвержен критике с обеих сторон, но постепенно онлайн-формат стал привычным, и по некоторым критериям смог опередить стандартный режим. Динамичный поток новых учеников и увеличенный спрос на образовательные услуги был заметен с начала 2020 года. Многие сотрудники ушли на «внеплановые» каникулы и у них появилось время на обучение в новом формате. Аудитория хотела пройти курсы дистанционно и получить сертификат без привязки к месту, пополнив портфолио или повысив текущую квалификацию.

Решающий фактор успешности дистанционного образования — развитие новых технологий. Развитие параллельно затрагивает рынок труда вместе с появлением новых профессий, расширением штата сотрудников, созданием новых департаментов. В стандартных ВУЗах или учебных центрах большая часть из таких профилей еще не предусмотрена, поэтому будущие эксперты ищут знания в сети. Сюда входят и постоянные изменения в учебной базе, так как новые специализации требуют регулярных обновлений и доработок. Чаще всего университеты не успевают обновлять образовательную программу, поэтому на рынке труда выпускники не будут рассматриваться крупными компаниями в приоритете. В ТОПы таких профессий первые позиции часто занимает IT-сфера (курсы программирования), включая анализ данных Big Data, дизайнеров, QA-инженеров, SMM, а также интернет-маркетологов. В 2021 году это уже отдельные профессии, которые требуют больших умений вместе с практическим опытом, чего не может дать «классический» университет.

Опираясь на эти факторы будущий студент просматривает страницы онлайн курсов с получением сертификата и определяет для себя более перспективную область. От уровня образования и свежести полученных знаний будет зависеть поиск работы и зарплата, что в целом влияет на общее качество жизни. Однако, в сети есть много предложений от различных компаний, где выделяется разница в цене и итоговом документе для портфолио. Большая часть потенциальной аудитории ищет курсы онлайн с выдачей диплома в ведущих школах или учебных центрах.

Issuing certificates

Получение документа в конце обучения нельзя отнести нельзя отнести к сильным сторонам только одного типа образования. Многие бесплатные порталы также оформляют сертификаты своим ученикам, которые будут хорошим дополнением к резюме и портфолио кандидата. Любое обучение должно сопровождаться документом, что подтверждает присутствие ученика на занятиях и получение конкретной квалификации (новой профессии). Работодатели серьезно относятся к таким отметкам в резюме соискателей, поэтому прохождение курсов без итогового документа почти никак не повлияет на будущую карьеру.

Если слушателю не нужен сертификат о прохождении материала, то для обучения можно найти любые открытые лекции или даже нарезки уроков на YouTube. Для этого не нужно платить деньги и выделять время для учета графика занятий, включая домашние задания и тесты. Формальное подтверждение знаний требуется только для поиска работы и уровня занимаемой должности.

Paid or free online courses with a certificate

Количество новых образовательных проектов и готовых материалов в сети постоянно увеличивается, о чем говорят многие рейтинги онлайн курсов. Если пользователь задаст в поиске запрос «курсы онлайн обучения бесплатно», то система выдаст сотни различных результатов, включая ряд рекламных ссылок. Однако, не все показанные результаты подходят по требованиям будущего студента. Часть из опубликованных предложений может не включать выдачу итогового сертификата, или не предусматривает обратную связь с педагогом. Другие школы могут не обучать с нуля профессии дистанционно, предлагая только дополнительные курсы. Если говорить про финансовую сторону, то часть аудитории ищет только бесплатные образовательные материалы. Фиксированной цены на цифровое обучение нет, но изучая политику популярных компаний можно увидеть аналогию с минимальной разницей на одинаковую учебную базу.

В сети есть много тематических форумов или авторских статей на тему сравнения бесплатного и платного образования. Эксперты собирают информацию из отзывов бывших студентов и прикрепляют персональные наблюдения, помогая аудитории решить этот «спор». Однако, каждый тип обучения получил свои сильные стороны вместе с недостатками, о которых нужно знать предварительно. Базовая справка о разнице платного и бесплатного образования поможет слушателю корректно выделить отличия дистанционного обучения профессии.

На основании данных экспертов вместе с информацией от выпускников онлайн-школ можно выделить главные плюсы платного образования:

  • Comprehensive approach. fragmented study of the discipline can affect the overall perception and understanding of the educational material. For example, online english language learning requires knowledge of the information from the elementary level. Without understanding the principle of tenses, the student will not be able to model complex sentence structures in the future;
  • The program does not provide mentor feedback, which is a disadvantage of this type of program. In the United States, the government has also begun to implement a new program to help students succeed in their careers. The constant support from the teacher guarantees the assimilation of the passed material and helps at the moment of homework or project works;
  • job search assistance. More often than not, popular educational projects assist graduates in their job search, including resume writing with pre-interview training. These services are already included in the general curriculum, so investing in education can pay off faster.

If we talk about free educational projects, their strengths should be highlighted by these content theses:

  • the financial side. For the entire period of study the student does not pay money for lectures or other forms of classes, while receiving all the allotted learning base within the course. In such situations, students sacrifice only time, as it is most often difficult to find a good online course in Russian;
  • a similar variety of topics. There are many learning centers online that have developed separate free programs in various specializations, including trial classes with introductory lectures. Along with this, the student receives open lessons, lecture excerpts, books, scholarly publications, and free master classes;
  • The first step to a comprehensive education. A free course can influence a student’s ultimate decision to go into a particular area of science, or to change courses and look at another area. Sometimes schools do not have a refund policy, so no refunds will be given back to students when they change interests.

Analyzing the strengths of free online courses with a certificate you can understand that such programs keep students in tone and help them at the beginning of mastering the profession. Such classes are unlikely to be useful to experts with work experience or practical knowledge, so they are designed more for beginners. However, finding free classes should also be taken seriously, so you should study their structure and criteria for the overall usefulness of the training before enrolling in a course.

Types of free courses with a certificate

The field of free distance education is overflowing with programs and formats with varying levels of knowledge or freshness of information. When searching for free professional development courses for educators online, the listener may not find the right academic foundation, as this is a narrower specialization. This category also includes accounting distance learning courses, which require a voluminous level of knowledge with extended experience. The category of specialized programs also includes retraining courses remotely with a focus on project work. Based on this, you can determine for yourself the difference between comprehensive paid training and open-access lessons. The latter most often contain superficial material or an initial base for further study of a particular discipline. By browsing through popular resources you can collect and structure free online learning into separate types:

  • Entrance Programs. This type of distance education is found on the platforms of popular online schools or specialized training centers. Short general lectures play an introductory role to familiarize the student with the structure of further material in paid lessons. They are usually accessed through an application, or schools publish them freely available on websites and video hosting sites. Sometimes such programs are released in the guise of marathons, master classes, and open webinars.
  • Courses on general or auxiliary topics. This type is also found in paid digital education projects as an additional learning base for general development. This category includes short lessons in soft-skills, how to present oneself correctly at job interviews, the development of emotional intelligence, and a start in a particular profession. Similar classes can be found for students on free services or social networks.
  • Authoring courses on external platforms. This item includes comprehensive programs from universities or colleges that are published on external educational portals. Many lectures or collections of teaching materials are publicly available on projects like Coursera, Stepik, MOOK, or Moodle. They contain more information compared to trial lessons, and after listening to the current material the student does a quiz. At the end of such courses the appropriate certificate is issued on behalf of the platform with a note of the author (university or training center).
  • Guides, checklists, memos, articles, and more. A popular type of useful information in the education-sphere that is created for free. It can be found on school platforms, thematic resources, social networks, large communities, as well as in the form of advertising. Checklists and guides are often motivated by additional conversions or interesting advertising for the target audience. They are not suitable for getting a profession, but will be a good addition to the main educational base for learning.

If we analyze educational programs for the future, there will be more free online courses in 2022, along with paid comprehensive classes. The education market is developing in parallel with the technology and requirements of companies, so there is no need to fear closing access or removing materials from platforms. It’s important for prospective students to consider the quality of the training and the convenience of taking the course, as well as its validation for their future careers. If there are no free materials and introductory lessons on the platform, there are many thematic resources online with school discussions and independent reviews. Based on the finished evaluations, you can form a general idea of the school’s performance or the quality of the training base.
