Effectiveness of cyber-learning

This paper presents the technologies, infrastructure and implementation of an interactive campus as well as distance teaching techniques. Special emphasis is on third world countries where economic constraint is the major hindrance in adopting technology. The online distance learning techniques, now in use worldwide, are presented together with a summary of their evaluation. The concept of ubiquitous computing on-campus and off-campus in the future, is the motif of this paper. This concept is established by collecting real time statistical data of students, studying in different grades. The said concept involves more of the faculty contribution and setting up online and interactive lectures with the presence of mentors, providing infrastructure to support the idea with emphasis on the supremacy of off-line mentors and updated FAQs. The paper gives an overview of basic parameters and limitation of typical higher-education distance learning and teaching schemes. The benefits and limits of distance learning approach for the basic services, lessons, seminars and tutoring are discussed. Finally, a new concept of learning is discussed as to how a student can learn interactively by being a student and a teacher.
