Maritime Training Institute announces Online learning programs for the busy marine professional.
(PRWEB) January 7, 2005 -- Maritime Training Institute announces Online
learning programs for the busy marine professional. Online offers immediacy in
that the courses are available for student participation every time a students
logs on. It also offers convenience and flexibility that allows students to
study wherever and whenever regardless of location, with access to the internet
the only requirement. Online learning also offers better interactive
capabilities including ‘tutorials', and 'student chat rooms' that have the
potential to enhance the learning experience through online discussions and
student networks. MTI has chosen an Asynchronous format to allow busy employees
more freedom. Synchronous learning means logging on to live interactive sessions
through video, phone, chat rooms, video conferencing. Asynchronous learning
involves students pacing their learning and communicating through email without
using these live tools. A common question is how can classroom assessment
techniques be implemented for distance students, especially students
communicating asynchronously? Reading and listening to lectures are
quintessential passive activities, albeit very efficient mass-production
methods. High-quality asynchronous learning environments require the learner to
participate in both the passive lecture learning methods, and also in task-based
problem-solving. In the asynchronous environment. The focus shifts from direct
interaction with the instructor to direct interaction with the information. This
requires organizing information in an interactive, rather than linear
manner.
Online Learning Environments are becoming common and significant
numbers of institutions of higher learning are choosing this option for
continuing education. The rapid growth of the Internet and the needs of a mobile
society have made OLEs very attractive options to those seeking education (STCW,
Pollution and security issues and many other commercial applications).
Maritime Training Institute announces the first in a series of classes
for the maritime worker. Online Security Training Awareness class is now
available via the internet. This 8-hour program is for both shore personnel, and
crews for complaisance with both ISPS / MTSA on-going training requirements. The
course allows students to sign on anywhere in the world and complete the course,
after demonstrating an understanding of the basic precepts of maritime security,
a certificate will be awarded. The program is not designed to provide SSO/PFSO
or CSO requirements; rather it will serve to maintain currency in accordance
with flag state requirements.

As more and more college
and university courses are offered via asynchronous learning networks there is a
genuine need for private industry venues; MTI intends to fill that need. Look to
that sight for more classes.
