VIRTUAL DRIVE DRIVER ED -vs-
OTHER PARENT TAUGHT DRIVER EDUCATION COURSES
 With other Homestudy courses, driver education can be a very daunting and overwhelming experience. They contain a stack of manuals for the parent and the student, videos and audiotapes. But wait, you still have to obtain state specific documents. In fact, the time requirement for the parent is about twice that of their student.
Virtual Drive Driver Ed designed this computer based training course specifically for each state. Other parent taught courses are generic in nature and they direct you to find state information that is not included in their course. With Virtual Drive Driver Ed, everything is included and the student will be guided from beginning to end.
COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT) -vs-
INTERACTIVE CD ROM/Online Course
There are Driver Education products that are advertised as interactive CD ROM'S or Online Courses. While the text is presented on screen, the student must read it just as if it were in a textbook. The only advantage These courses have over manuals, is that it is paperless and has automated grading. A few fancy animated graphics does not qualify as a true Computer Based Training course. In addition, the navigation on most is very hard to understand.
Computer Based Training, or CBT, is a learning technique first developed in the early 80's by the airline industry. CBT has migrated from the airline industry into mainstream business and educational training. This learning approach has many benefits:
Retention of the material is far greater, and due to the true interactivity, students are less distracted than in traditional classroom environments.
CBT allows the student to learn at his or her own pace and allows for remedial learning for those with lower learning abilities.
Parents will be able to provide an extremely user friendly and effective Driver Education program to their child in a home environment.
With the electronic (CBT) method, everything is included in the course, including over 3 hours of video enhancements. Parents do not have to turn into academic professors, they will only have to monitor the students progress during the 32 hour classroom portion of the training.
Virtual Drive's Driver Education allows the student to become interactive with the learning process, thereby creating a better learning environment. Studies have shown that a classroom setting or simply reading volumes of information is not as effective as when the student is constantly stimulated with audio, animation and video learning techniques.
VIRTUAL DRIVE DRIVER ED -vs- PRIVATE DRIVER EDUCATION SCHOOLS
 Private Driver Education Schools require a major commitment from the parent as well as the student. The students are required to be in attendance for two hours each day, four days a week for four consecutive weeks. If a student misses a day of classroom attendance, that day must be made up at a specified time, sometimes up to three weeks from the day the student missed. A student cannot miss more than three days or the entire course must be re-taken. There is no flexibility and no consideration for the student's busy school schedule such as sports or any other outside school activity.
With Virtual Drive's Driver Education Course, busy students and parents pick their own time and work driver education into their own schedules. Today's students aren't able to find three free weeks in a row. They need the flexibility and ease of use that Virtual Drive offers.
