As being a student, apart from only the lectures in school and the curriculum books that once the students were supposed to study, there're additional aids that is accessible to students in the form of websites, tuition. This becomes more pronounced from Higher Secondary onwards till senior level. Sometimes it becomes difficult for the student to distil all the information and make sense of the whole pandemonium. Today, the dichotomy of the disparate nature of education stems from the facts that while the resources are in abundance, but may not available to all, depending on one's socio-economic status or geographic considerations. What is required today is a structured approach to learning and today’s demand also. Studies have shown that learning actually follows what the Constructivism theory seems to postulate. Worldwide the education trend is changing. Lectures are leaping outside of institutions/ classrooms. The instructional mode of teaching is changing from classroom lectures to videos or video conferencing sessions. Today, if someone desires to have a structured learning session; one is not constrained ongoing physically to an institution and attending a course on it. It can be done at one's pace, at one's own time. With a plethora of things to learn from, be it books, observation, instructional, videos etc., one needs to have their basics crystal clear. Students' needs to be well versed with the course books and their exercises to do well in their exams. Websites have weaved in other value added services, with some providing assessment functionalities while others provide counselling etc.
