Online education has started to reshape and modify the previous form of education which is the dominant one and this fact is clearly observed if we look at the case of Yavapai College.
The college is witnessing the ‘willing’ turn of its educational system from the traditional to the online mode. 

The critics’ opinion
Education’s journeying from the beginning has included various structural matters and procedures by which it was molded and reshaped in a newer; much more improved and effective state. Education traveled across various other systematic analytical methods to be appeared as what it has become today. Its development indicates towards the excellence of its ultimate aim and this rapid progress of development can never be stopped. Rather it is better to allow the persisting flow of its gradual elevation in order to get a better and efficient form than its earlier state.

But the modern day critics are not willing to maintain this order of the correctness of the continuation of the needed state of education. Education must persist to evolve into a better position. The critics are much more relying on what education should have become.
They should consider the mentioned evolution of education as a relevant process. They should rather concentrate on the evolved state of education than its probable formation. 

The changes in Yavapai College because of online education
The college has seen rapid changes in an optimistic way. Let us have a look at these changes: 
1.Number of online students increased: The number of the students being online learners has grown to 30%. On the other hand, the number of the students going to campus also surprisingly started falling short in the last six years. Even the college officials are saying that the online students are responsible for the formation of the college’s second campus.

 2.Online curriculum of the college and students’ enrollment: The College is offering 9 online degrees as well as 17 certificate programs. Tom Hughes, director of institutional effectiveness and research, estimates that the percentage of the students enrolling for online courses has increased from 34% to 47%.
3.The employers’ interest for online candidates: According to Al Filardo, YC Governing Board Member, the employers are becoming interested to hire online degree holders because they are not willing to require any supervision.  

Traditional vs. online education
It is another evident fact though that the majority of the people still tend to believe on the traditional education and they do not, completely, look upon online education as a healthy way for educating.

But what about the present generation?
It is also becoming clear that the online education becomes more welcomed to the students as the choice of the students supporting it is growing rapidly.
It can be said that the advent of online education is an optimistic change or evolution of education and not just some of its ineffective turns. 

Let’s accept the change
The online education is like a platform where the effectiveness and efficiency of education dwells together in order to create perfection. It is not only a thoughtful notion but a proved example. The rapid preference of the students to take up online education in Yavapai College is the small representation of arrival of the online education as a dominant form of education in the future.

Why We Should Take Up Online Education

It has been recently found that over 5000 candidates have applied for the Barbados Community College. The fact of the number of 5000 students applying in the mentioned college is a warm one but there is another trait that may lead to a problem.

 The college can only accept 1300 which can lead the applicants to sheer frustration and dissatisfaction.

What the situation means

It can be thoroughly understood that the mentioned problem has arisen because of some faults in the educational sector. The incident which happened was not known but was anticipated. So, what does this present problem indicate? It indicates the serious errors in the educational planning.

Another question raises its doubtful head. Why any preparations have not been made to prevent such a massive problem if it was already assumed to happen?

The lack of professional integrity in the educational organizations is clearly understandable as this problem is the result of such negligence. 

The present situation

So, the present situation appears like that there are less number of sits and greater number of students. It will mean not allowing the students to fulfill their education and to be employed. It means not to give the access to their better future.

The students who will not be getting these opportunities to further their studies will have to look for alternative ways for further enhancement of their studies.
Students are required to expose their professional skills in the difficult competition of the job market. They should display their technical methods of their education in order to satisfy the requirement of the companies in the job markets. 

The solution

In this complicated time, where getting education becomes one of the significant problems the society is facing, online education comes up as a solution. It will not only help the students to get the equivalent education which others are getting but also provides a technology-equipped learning environment that enables the learners to learn in an innovative and effective way.

Although there are little demerits of the online mode of learning like the close interaction with teachers; the campus life are not there in online education but its advantages are more than that. 

Technical education follows the efficient path where the students’ performance level is not only identified but also improved to a standard level. Online education also exhibits the skillful way of technological implementations to enhance the learning power of the students that ultimately aims towards educating them. 

Transformation of education

If the traditional mode of learning cannot meet the demands of the students who are the base of the educational sectors, then the students should better equip themselves in learning online. It will not only enable them to learn equally like the traditional way of learning but also will help them to enhance their performance and skills with the use of blended combination of technology and education. The new age comes with newer aspects and the correct and timely implementation of those can lead to the better future of the students.
