online massage therapy schools are an alternative learning option for adult
students
students with family obligations in students with other work commitments
not only is online learning gaining prevalent in society today
it is actually being killed is a better way to learn
according to several studies published in popular sources
such as The New York Times in most cases this is true
but for humans on medical training like massage therapy
there still needs to be a hands-on component this podcast will outline the
differences between traditional morning with actual classes
and online learning the benefits and disadvantages have both
and what to expect from these types of schools a study mentioned in the New
York Times called
evaluation of the evidence based practices in online learning
a meta analysis and review of online learning studies
suggests that students learning through an online portal do better than in
traditional face-to-face instruction
the study was conducted in different settings in colleges and adult learning
programs at various kinds
including medical and military training two reasons behind the increase efficacy
of online learning stems mainly from the increased tailoring of the program to
the individual's learning habits
online programs are more interactive than before
with online chat systems notice boards web-based video tutorials
into other collaboration tools these alone get the individual a better
ability to learn at their own pace
reviewing you learning the material as much or as little as they need
furthermore when they were choir for their explanations or help
they can get a one-on-one focus to Chad instant message portals
some even provide video conferencing early in its development
online learning critics suggested that it would take away from the learning
experience that we need to learn in a community
yet with the move towards large online social educational forums in these
online schools
it is actually helping stimulate students helping students
these online collaboration tools help students from an online community
within each class course level or program
linking knowledge in sharing in a far greater speed than traditional
classrooms could
advantages of online education
flexibility besides mandated time specific webinars
you can complete your course work on your own schedule usually
teacher access through instant messaging
email and community forums teacher access is generally higher than in
traditional schools
exciting content tired of boring lectures
online learning provides a variety of learning formats from online surveys
questions and quizzes to interactive webinars and video tutorials
to conference discussions and community forums to participate in
traditional learning
morning massage therapy online unfortunately can only take you so far
in massage therapy certification from the National Certification Board for
therapeutic massage and bodywork
in CBT Mb requires you to meet the individual state requirements for
hands-on training
this national certification requires 750 hours education
in 250 hours of hands-on experience
no more than six months from graduation the 250 hours of hands-on experience is
the portion of the learning experience that
obviously cannot be done at home all sitting on your computer
this will require an actual hands-on learning experience
but his best on either in an accredited program or under the guiding him to be
professional
many advocates have massage training online suggest that interactive
demonstration videos can accomplish this
we disagree the hands-on component of your massage therapy curriculum
should be one that is performed in person note
their is no replacement for in person practical experience
even when attending accredited massage therapy schools online
disadvantages of online learning
attention any formal classroom teachers keep the classrooms attention by direct
interaction
staring at a computer can lonely person's attention span
face to face body language can provide up to
eighty percent of communication between teacher and student
this could provide clues to instructors as to a student's limitations or issues
not noticeable in an online setting unless there's proper video conferencing
more time a student could actually take more time to learn an online course
because of their specific learning style
then in class lectures
procrastination
the more independence came from online learning is not always a bonus
as it can lead to missed learning in Scopus I meant
leading to a possible higher failure rate the benefits
and disadvantages to learning online are apparent
especially with the massage therapy profession
blended learning blended learning is currently being accepted norm in
professional massage therapy schools that purport online learning to be a
part of the learning process
this plan to buy online and traditional classes allow students to gain
flexibility in their schedule
without giving up the most important part of the learning process for massage
therapy
hands-on learning online massage therapy schools
still usually contain a traditional component
when did break down most schools now offer some form of the blended program
for massage therapy
even if it is in addition to their full-time traditional offering
the planned programs offer some percentage of online course work to be
completed from 25 percent
up to 100 percent to the required course work to be done online
general a 100 percent have the required hands-on requirement is still done on
site at the school
or at the placement after completion of the educational component
some schools also offer some forms of away from school learning for the
hands-on component
where you would be under the tutelage be recognized certified
and qualified teacher in your location for the hands-on portion
this splendid program usually offer some sort of cost savings over traditional
for class programs
while at the same time offering flexibility and hands-on experience
resulting in what most believe to be the best of both worlds
affording massage therapy programs that are 100 percent online
it should be noted that schools offering 100 percent online education for massage
therapy are in the minority
into those that offer online hands-on instruction are considered ill-advised
the NCB TMB requires professional
hands-on experience in order to qualify for certification
although you can possibly learn hands-on techniques on line at your own pace from
online instruction
it may not be accepted for certification purposes
make sure that when you look for a blended
traditional or mostly online school for your program
that you consider the requirements properly for certification
as it will affect your career path in time-line
summary
on
massage therapy schools are on the rise online learning in general is on the
rise
and its benefits are well proven out however
there are still challenges that arise particularly in hands-on fields such as
massage therapy
it is always considered better to learn hands-on portion directly from the
program school
all routes my under professional guidance rather than trying to do it
alone
or through online teaching aids on
