Have you ever found yourself signing up for an online course, excitedly getting through the first few pre-recorded lectures, only to slowly lose motivation and fail to complete it?

The problem is, however, they are pre-recorded and lack the accountability and sense of community that is often needed to encourage students to follow through and complete their course. With live lectures and real-time interaction with Educators and peers, students feel just as engaged as if they were sitting in-class. Being able to see your Educator on your screen walking you through the content, and the faces of your classmates tuning in simultaneously, is a unique learning environment that gets you excited to attend class each week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Goodbye, commute<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Today, a lot of people have the intent to invest in their career potential with digital skills; they know it\u2019s important, but when it comes to committing to heading to a campus one evening per week, people often find it\u2019s hard to fit in with their busy schedule. With online, you can head straight home from your workday, put on some sweatpants, make some dinner and tune into your lectures from the comfort of your couch. This makes building digital skills much more accessible and the perfect solution for those who don\u2019t live in a city with a campus presence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d1jxdyr49kipv5.cloudfront.net\/prod\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/LinkedIn_2-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6134 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/d1jxdyr49kipv5.cloudfront.net\/prod\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/LinkedIn_2-1-1024x535.png\" alt=\"brainstation online\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2re7sjnpekmig.cloudfront.net\/prod\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/LinkedIn_2-1-1024x535.png 1024w, https:\/\/d2re7sjnpekmig.cloudfront.net\/prod\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/LinkedIn_2-1-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/d2re7sjnpekmig.cloudfront.net\/prod\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/LinkedIn_2-1-768x401.png 768w, https:\/\/d2re7sjnpekmig.cloudfront.net\/prod\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/LinkedIn_2-1-960x502.png 960w, https:\/\/d2re7sjnpekmig.cloudfront.net\/prod\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/LinkedIn_2-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Quizzes &amp; data-backed education<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>With the BrainStation Online&#8217;s Learning Portal, Educators are able to gauge students\u2019 comprehension and provide resources and support based on their individual results.
