PADI
eLearning
|
| Now
take advantage of the opportunity to complete coursework for
dive classes through PADI's new Web-based learning service,
PADI eLearning!
eLearning is another great
way to learn to dive, comparable to the instruction you
can already find at your local dive shop (such as FantaSea).
eLearning provides the opportunity to take PADI-certified
courses (and receive credit you can apply toward certification)
on your PC, and to receive instruction from your favorite
PADI dive instructors.
eLearning is designed to be
convenient and easy-to-use. You will be able to access eLearning
anywhere you have a PC with an Internet connection. Also,
you will be able to complete eLearning entirely on your
own schedule--there are no class times or places to meet.
eLearing will keep track of your progress, and you can begin
again where you left-off last time.

eLearning
utilizes multimedia and communications resources available
on the Internet to enhance the experience of learning how
to dive. This includes:
- Multimedia content, including pictures and video clips.
- Links to more-detailed explanations of relevant information.
- Instant feedback on quizzes and tests (the Website will
correct your tests for you, and indicate the correct answer
if you did not select it).
- Contact with dive instructors from the dive center you
are affiliated with.
- A narrator, to read the course information aloud to
you.
- Access to dive tables.
- Links to equipment knowledge and understanding (e.g.
defogger and an extra strap to consider also buying when
buying a new mask).

eLearning will challenge
you to master (and, through testing, demonstrate)
course material. Through lessons and evaluations,
you will deal with the information in eLearning much
the same way you would with the traditional dive courses
(taught with a workbook). As with traditional classroom
dive instruction, passing scores on quizzes and tests
will be required to complete the current eLearning
program.
The courses are not without
a little bit of fun, though, too--the multimedia content
helps to keep things lively and interesting.

(On
the topic of equipment--FantaSea offers a full line
of scuba equipment, the safest and best in the dive
industry. eLearners affiliated with us will receive
extra benefits and generous reductions in prices--see
our Equipment
section for more info on the products we carry)
Because FantaSea is a 5-Star Instructor Development Dive Center, all of the information
presented in eLearning is the same as what you would
receive from FantaSea instructors in the classroom
and in the water. For this reason, progress made in
eLearning will be applicable toward classes (e.g.
Open Water Diver, Part I) offered
at our dive shop.
Throughout
your eLearning experience, you will have contact with
FantaSea Dive Center instructors (if you choose to
affiliate with our dive center when you register).
Our instructors will have access to your test information,
and they will be able to offer feedback and advice
where needed.
A
subscription to eLearning lasts for one year.
