She equates online learning to seminars or courses taken in person. However, as Melanie points out, online education is more economical, less time consuming, and it can be completed at the user’s own pace. The busy dental office personnel can complete online courses at lunch or at home, after hours. The article covers Melanie’s personal experience with online courses, and she also reviews the benefits of web-based seminars, “webinars.” A list of tips for online learners is also available.
