In today's fast-paced world, remote learning, orsynchronous online learning, offers a multitude of benefits, radically transforming the way we acquire new skills and knowledge. This article explores the key benefits of remote and live learning, and highlights why this approach is becoming increasingly popular. 

Geographical flexibility

One of the main advantages of remote learning is the flexibility it offers learners. The ability to attend courses from anywhere in the world eliminates geographical constraints. In specialized fields such as digital and new technologies, it is sometimes difficult to find a school or training organization close to home.

It's perfectly possible for a learner to be mobile during training days, as all that's required is a simple internet connection. This means they can take part in courses from home, from a coworking space, or even from their vacation destination.

What's more, with work-study programs, there are no geographical constraints when it comes to finding a company for your apprenticeship. Students can therefore broaden their search criteria and maximize their chances of finding a work-study placement.

Crews advocates geographical mobility and offers training courses in digital professions that enable you to be wherever you want, whenever you want. Here are just a few examples: 

Real-time interaction and personalized support

Unlike asynchronous learning, where learners work independently, synchronous learning enables real-time interaction. Participants can ask questions, share ideas and collaborate with speakers and other learners, creating a more dynamic, qualitative and engaging learning environment.

Synchronous training offers a valuable opportunity for personalized coaching from the instructors. Students can get immediate answers to their questions and benefit from individualized attention, fostering a deeper understanding of the topics covered. Synchronous e-learning platforms also offer real-time tracking and learner engagement: a unique way to personalize the learning experience for each student.

Although courses are held at Online, it is possible to forge links with In-person on an ad hoc basis by organizing seminars. This is what Crews offers, twice a year, the first of which takes place at the beginning of the course, so that students can meet and get to know each other. It's also a more informal way of working together. For the 2023-2024 year, the onboarding seminar was held in Paris.

Use of new technologies 

Remote learning takes advantage of new technologies such as virtual classrooms, interactive whiteboards and online collaboration tools. This creates an immersive experience that goes beyond simple pre-recorded videos or lengthy PDF documents, offering learners an enriching and dynamic educational experience.

Learners can also access course replay, making it easier to learn once the course is over.

Save time and money

A study by Euro Car Parts shows that a French worker spends an average of 3.5 hours a week on commuting, i.e. the journeys made every day between home and the place of work or training, all modes combined (i.e. 7,820 hours of his or her life)*.

What's more, commuting more than 60 minutes multiplies the risk of depression by 1.16, according to a study of Koreans**. This is because these people have less free time to reduce daily stress.

Remote learning eliminates these commuting journeys, saving precious time every day and reducing our carbon footprint. The elimination of these journeys also means a considerable reduction in commuting costs, whether by private car or public transport, as there are no geographical constraints.

Of course, the psychological aspect must also be taken into account, since the elimination of commuting time from the learner's daily routine means a better work/life balance.

In conclusion, synchronous e-learning represents a revolution in the way we learn, offering tangible benefits to learners worldwide. The combination of flexibility, real-time interaction, innovative technologies, savings in time and money, and a reduced carbon footprint make it an option suited to contemporary needs, while maintaining the quality of learning. With the rapid evolution of technology, remote learning will continue to shape the future of education.
