Learning Online with Education Technology

In a book entitled "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success", author Carol S. Dweck points to motivation as an even greater indicator of success than previously thought. More often, she proposes, success in one's work comes as a byproduct of one's passion.
It's true, findings indicate that the most successful people are those who would be doing the exact same job even if they weren't successful at it. In education, this means that the most successful teachers are likely to be those who actually enjoy teaching and thus approach their jobs with passion.
Given this, the goal of any educational system should be to put passionate teachers in front of students. New developments in online learning and education technology make it possible for passionate teachers to reach far more students than they ever could in a physical classrooms. Sounds good, right?
How ArtistWorks Stacks Up Against Our Competitors
Wed, 03/14/2012 - 4:46pm
It's no secret that online education is on the rise, so with the increasing attention on education technology we wanted to compare how ArtistWorks stacks up against the competition.
Comparing ArtistWorks to TrueFire, it's not hard to see which is a better value. Our lessons range from $20-30 per month, which is nearly 1/10 of TrueFire’s highest pricing option at $200 a month. For just $40 more you could study at ArtistWorks for a whole year!
Let's take a closer look at how ArtistWorks compares to GuitarTricks and JamPlay, each costing $14.95 and $19.95 a month respectively. The price is right, but just what to you get for your money?
Yes, both offer 24/7 live chat, backing track mp3 downloads, community features, forums, tabs/music notation, customer service helpline, and an ad-free site…. but what about the actual learning process?
