Why Online Learning?
“Innovations in the automotive industry have gradually transformed what it means to be an auto repair worker. As the cars on our streets have become more computerized, so, too, has the job of maintaining and fixing these vehicles. And so a trade that was once largely mechanical is today primarily technical, and therefore requires workers to be skilled computer users, strong readers and able mathematicians.” (http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/capitalbusiness/how-innovation-has-changed-the-job-of-an-auto-repair-technician/2013/05/24/17863e20-c181-11e2-ab60-67bba7be7813_story.html)
