If You Need To Further Your Education You Should Consider An Online College
By Gregg
After years of dreaming about it, High School graduation is finally just around the corner. Now it's time to consider the next step in your education, which is choosing a college to attend. Some students may choose to go to a college out of state, while others may choose to go to one locally. There is now a third option available that will allow you to take courses and earn a degree online.
There are many benefits to choosing an online course of study. One of the benefits is convenience. There are no travel expenses to pay for since you don't have to leave home and you never have to worry about being late to class since you set your own schedule. This allows you greater freedom if you have to work while attending school. Because many colleges are offering this type of program, you can pick one that offers the best courses in your chosen field of study, without any location concerns.
Online University Design
An online university is a web site that provides a complete "one-stop shop" for all your employees' training
needs. By logging into an online university, your employees obtain information about newly released training
programs, guidance on the programs that are appropriate for them, registration services for both online and
classroom courses, and immediate access to their training records.
Online universities are not the exclusive province of large corporations. Small and midsize firms that do not
have their own private networks can provide online university services to their employees using an ASP
(Application Solution Provider) model. Many of the key features of online universities are now offered by a
national and international suppliers on an outsourced basis.
How to Teach Adult Learners
Many aspects of teaching adults are fundamentally different than those employed in teaching children.
Andragogy is a word popularized at the end of the twentieth century to describe the difference. This article
by D. Verne Morland, managing partner of ROI Learning Services, highlights the important principles in
teaching adults and suggests how they can be applied to business training.
How to Write Instructional Articles
Instructional articles are very different from articles in reference manuals, product brochures, or even
professional literature. This article by Herbert L. Bivens, chief learning officer of ROI Learning Services,
defines instructional articles and describes how to write them.
Put Earn in Your Learning
Many companies view training as a component of their employee benefits package - an expense to be controlled,
not an investment to be maximized. This attitude is dangerously outdated. Survival in today's global economy
requires continuous, cost-effective, world-class training. This article by D. Verne Morland, managing partner
of ROI Learning Services, explains how to identify the "earn" in learning and measure the results
as you would with any other business investment.
Online and Blended Course Development
Online courses are self-contained, independent-study programs delivered via the worldwide web. They may be
relatively simple and short, delivering a little knowledge when and where it is needed. Or they may be
sophisticated, multimedia learning experiences that engage students for many hours over several sittings.
Online courses are primarily useful for conveying new information; they are less effective in conveying and
rehearsing new skills and in motivating students to apply their new knowledge.
Blended courses use a combination or blend of instructional methods and delivery technologies to convey
information, skills, and motivation to students. Blended courses offer almost all of the same instructional
methods and benefits as classroom courses, but with the distinct benefit of being delivered virtually.
ROI Learning Services has the expertise to identify which type of course is best for your company's
learning needs and we can deliver high quality programs that will have a measurable impact on your
business results.
Designing Online Courses for Adult Learners
At most schools of education aspiring teachers are taught the elements of pedagogy – the art and science
of teaching children. Many aspects of teaching adults are fundamentally different than those employed in
teaching children and for this reason a new word gained currency in the late 20th century – andragogy. This
article highlights the important principles in teaching adults and suggests teaching strategies to support
these principles in online courses for higher education and corporate learning programs.
ROI Learning Scorecard [tm]
The ROI Learning Scorecard [tm] is based on the Balanced Scorecard concept created in 1992 by Dr. Robert S.
Kaplan and Dr. David P. Norton. Having a balanced scorecard requires you to plan, manage, and measure your
organization from four perspectives: 1) The Learning and Growth Perspective, 2) The Business Process
Perspective, 3) The Customer Perspective, and 4) The Financial Perspective. This philosophy is consistent
with ROI Learning's holistic approach to training and organization development. By using our ROI
Learning Scorecard your company will focus on and invest in the right programs to build and nurture a
continuous learning organization.
Education Consulting
Survival in today's global economy requires world-class performance. World-class performance requires continuous,
cost-effective, world-class learning. The consulting and course development services provided by ROI Learning
enable businesses in all industries to achieve world-class learning results while maximize the return on their
learning investments.
How to Save Money on Training
Significant cost savings can be achieved by using technology to deliver training outside the traditional
classroom. This article illustrates the component costs of a hypothetical two-day classroom course delivered
to 20 students ten times a year and explains the significant reduction in training costs that can be achieved
by using a "blended" delivery approach.
How to Use Training to Improve Your Business Results
Training your employees is an investment in your business and like any smart investment it should have a
good rate of return. Although training is not the solution to every problem, where it fits it can improve
your sales and sales productivity; it can lower your costs and improve your gross margin; and it can bring
expenses into line and increase your profitability. This article explains that by investing in the right
programs managers will clearly see the business results and will, at the same time, be creating a highly
competitive, continuous learning organization.

strategy, tactics, programs, and success measures.
You don't have to worry about not being able to ask the instructors questions, because you can talk to them via email or through the use of the school's message board system.
Once you have chosen a course of study, you can go online and research the colleges that offer online degrees. Look for the specific colleges that offer courses that specialize in your desired field and then compare the programs. See what their application procedures are as well as the cost of tuition and if they offer any sort of financial aid. It's really the same process that you would use were you to choose a traditional college. Many online schools have fancy websites, but don't be lured in by the advertising alone. It's important to research them carefully. Some institutions may not offer total online training. They may require you to attend in class training as well. It's also important to check out their accreditation with a reliable accrediting agency. Don't hesitate to ask the school for references and try to read their message boards to get a feel as to how the other students view the school.
Another thing that is important to remember is that attending an online college is still hard work. You have to demonstrate commitment and perseverance, just like you would in a traditional college. Just because the courses are online doesn't mean that they will be easier and you will still be required to study and take tests. Because it is not a structured environment, it will take a lot of discipline on your part to keep up with the work and attend the classes. With hard work and a commitment to achieve your education goal, you can earn your degree and enter your chosen field with confidence.
