so I have this project where I'm supposed to come up with an idea of how using virtual methods meaning computers to help people learn more effectively.
an example is like if someone is not in class, how or what can I put online that would help them to continue to learn even if they are not in class

any help would be appreciated. If you need a better understanding of what I mean please ask

This sounds really cool. Instead of long lectures short, well-organized videos coupled with comprehension quizzes and short essay assignments may be one option. I used to use online quizzes to study for exams. It was especially helpful for geography, math, and languages.

Visual and audio stimulation in the form of images, videos, and music can really be effective. If you couple those things with a way for the person to show what they have learned and participate, then it could prove to be very effective.

Group learning also has it's merits. What if there were a way for the participants to communicate with each other through a forum or chat room? These are just my musings. I used to teach.
