A student’s point of view
ilearn offers students the best opportunity for success because it delivers and supports learning when it is needed. One of our many MBA students highlights how ilearn empowers her with online assessments:
"Speaking to a colleague also doing a Masters degree, I found it interesting the differences between our courses. She had to print, bind and post her essay 4 days before the deadline to make sure it was delivered. As satisfying as the feeling is when binding and posting your essay, I must admit the process where I am able to login (at any time) and just click the submit button is wonderful. Within seconds you feel the adrenalin leaving your body and you can sit down without worrying about the work getting lost in the post.
And what if I need to make a change? No problem, make the change to the document. Save it and upload it again. Done. So I sit here very smugly having finished my last two assignments, they are both sitting in the world wide web somewhere, while my friend is waiting for news of her assignment’s arrival after an excitable journey through machinery, vehicles and delivery by the men in red."
