The title of the article is “Clicking your way to an MBA-online classes in continuing education” which was published in Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine in March of 1999. The author of the article is Marc. L. Schulhof, it was assessed on http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1318 website that provides thousands of articles from scholarly sources on specified topics.
The main theme of the article is concerned with the online education for people who are seeking for a second degree, especially those in business fields. It concentrates on the description of a few professionals studying online and gives evidences of why it is a good way to learn and what perspectives this education line has in the future. It describes one professional Vince Sutera who decided to register for courses online. He is a new-business developer living in Chicago and looking for a decent school to give him specific knowledge in the project that is required for his work. That is when one of Philadelphia universities’ Wharton came handy with its direct course. It was extremely important for Vince to be able to squeeze in this course in his busy schedule, like for many professionals who are looking for a second education or specific course, being flexible in schedule is essential. By the time these people earn a second degree, most of them have families and full time jobs that are demanding huge amount of time and effort.
The article was very informative in a sense of providing detailed information on how exactly the course and the schedule were designed. The description of the equipment that was present in the classroom was essential for the reader’s understanding of what exactly was provided with the purchase of the course. Moreover, it becomes clear that such course as from Wharton school allows students to actually hear and see the professor in real time, which is very important for learners in order to comprehend material better. It is noted in the article that a few years ago, such online courses were not interactive at all. The students received only videotaped lecture with the materials and had to study from that, without communicating with classmates or a lecturer. Nowadays this e-learning process is getting more and more perfected and students are fully immersed in the process, where they can participate answering and asking in real time. This system thus allows to be constantly prepared for the class in order to be able to answer when you are asked by the professor.
Evident advantages of the online learning especially for adults are clearly described in the article. Working adults with families are much more likely to choose an online course and work online rather than leaving their homes for a few hours or weeks to traveling to the classroom. This is a vital aspect of the online education-the ability of people to study without interrupting the course of their lives, plus receive a high quality interactive learning.
Unique programs that are available over big distances in real time are very attractive for people seeking for specific skills and expertise. Being able to study in such places without traveling far is an obvious practical benefit that saves money, time and effort. Besides those studying online have all recourses available instantly before them, without having to haul that to the classroom. Assignments, spreadsheets and books are made accessible right there, the fact that assures better performance and understanding of the material. In business world where money and time are interrelated such approach of accessibility of the recourses, integrated materials and interactive communication provides the best result for the limited amount of time. The proof to that can be found in the interviews of the professionals, who were studying via online and received a better deal than they would in a physical setting of a regular college. The stress is put on the attentive selection of the university/college for your need, mentioning that the tuition will not be much cheaper than in classical education. For the technologies applied in the learning processes are very expensive and have to be regularly renewed.
Studying through internet would be a great experience for people wanting to save time and effort. Provided, it is a good program with needed up to date resources it would be to a definite advantage of those wanting to continue studying. It is clear that currently serious schools are appropriately equipped and set up for the convenience and best results of the learner. The idea of communicating with a professor and other classmates is very comforting to me as I would be able to exchange ideas and thoughts with them in case of need. Taking into consideration the fact that most employers are willing to pay for their employees to continue educating I would suggest for the educators to create specific programs for groups of people from the same companies. Developing special educating courses in particular fields of study for such teams would result in better interaction between the classmates. For instance, an educational program can be designed for a group of financial analytics in a big company. This would lead to increased productivity, better team work, quality performance and school’s reputation as a provider of quality service. The ability to present high quality online education for the educators is based on the knowledge of modern technology and study materials.
There is only one definite forecast clearly seen in the online education sector: it will grow and develop until young professionals want to learn and improve their skills.

Simple Guide of Getting Online MBA Degree for Candidates Above 30 Years of Age
Filed Under Online Education | Leave a Comment
Most of our people get drifted away by their working life. Your employer always value staffs who have multi-tasking skills that would eventually make employment more competitive than usual. Nowadays, some people are over-worked by going beyond their core job. It is common that most current jobs in certain industries are underpaid because these employees have lack of certain qualification for their job promotion and salary increment.
If you did not fare well in your previous GMAT exam, try to resit the exam again this year. Allocate some time for your GMAT preparation. If you do not have enough time to attend any of these preparation courses, you can start finding a study partner by posting a free classified ads on Craigslist – a free classifieds website. By the way, most of the GMAT preparation resources are available for free on the internet. In some cases, there are some business schools who accept candidates without GMAT qualification. In fact, candidates are required to sit for an entrance examination which is administered by these business schools as the main requirements for MBA program admission.
Most of the working adults especially those who are above 30 years of age, have limited time to attend lectures in a campus. It is much clearer to step aside for awhile before you make any career advancement. Start setting goals for yourself during a simple brainstorming process. Make a list of these goals and take action on it. For more flexible time of studying, online MBA degree program is the best choice for part-time students who has a current full-time job. For your information, getting an online education is similar as getting a distance learning education; and you can take business courses abroad from international accredited online business schools.
The most common reason why some working adults are reluctant to start an online postgraduate program because they are still doubt whether their current non-business postgraduate degree qualification is accounted in their career advancement. For example, an IT-graduate with a Master of Electrical Engineering qualification will have slim chances to get themselves into management consulting or corporate strategy role jobs. Ever since, many non-business undergraduates have started to emerge themselves in corporate sectors after they have completed their online MBA degree program.

What is a good Spanish newspaper online?
Filed Under Languages | 4 Comments
I’m looking for something I can read daily to build my Spanish vocabulary. A newspaper, or anything an adult would find interesting. Short articles, etc. I know enough Spanish to get through much of what is written on a High School level.
A serious bonus would be something that also has an English version so I could use it as a reference. I’m wondering if papers from Mexico City, Monterrey, or any other large Latin/South American cities have online editions. Spain is okay, too.
Thanks.

High School Diploma Online
Filed Under Non Fiction | Leave a Comment
Kris Koonar inquired:
Technology is changing every aspect of the world and that includes education too. It is now possible for you to get your high school diploma online. If the idea of going to school, or going back to school after a long time, seems intimidating to you, then getting an online high school diploma could be the solution to all your woes. The main reason adults choose this method of getting a diploma online over actually going to school is that they can do this while continuing with their work and careers.
It is very essential that you get your high school diploma, as this could be important and beneficial for your career and further education. A school diploma is your ticket to a good college entry, and in turn, getting a good job.
According to the census, school graduates earn $5,000 more per year than those without a high school diploma. An increased number of teenagers are opting for getting an online diploma for a variety of reasons. Either because their health does not allow them to attend regular class, or they want to pursue careers in acting or music without stopping studying, or because they just want to get away from peer pressure.
Choosing between Private or Public High School
Even with distance learning or getting a diploma online, you have a choice between public and private schools. Private schools are not dependent on government regulation for their functioning. They function independently and have their own regulations, teaching methods and systems. The tuition fee is higher as you will be paying for all the costs, including the hardware and software. Care must be taken with regards to the accreditation of these private schools that offer online diplomas.
Online public schools are of two types: Public charter school and regular public school. Public charter schools are funded by the public and allow free enrollment and have more freedom than regular public schools. If you have the facility of public charter schools in your state, opt for these. Some of these public charter schools even provide online students the computer equipment and study material for free.
Before choosing any kind of high school to get an online diploma, it is advisable that you do all your research and investigation so as to get the best possible education that you can.
Pros and Cons of Online High School Diplomas
The benefits of getting an school diploma online are plenty. You can work at your own pace and at your own time. There are fewer distractions while studying from home, and no peer pressure and bullies. It is even possible to finish your school early and get your diploma earlier. Some even finish their school twice as fast as regular students do.
There are some downsides of getting an online diploma. The lack of having a teacher to guide and motivate is difficult for some to handle. Some students tend to become antisocial and reclusive. You have to be extra careful where the accreditation is concerned, as some colleges may not accept transcripts from un- accredited online high schools. It can be a very expensive process, often costing thousands of dollars.
The choice and future is yours; choose wisely!
