The 3 Myths of Online Education
Posted: November 2007Online education is often seen as the red-headed stepchild of higher education. Ever since the early 1900s, when correspondence courses began coming into style, distance education — or any education that isn’t done in the classroom — has been considered inferior. But is this criticism fair? Is there something about distance education, especially online education, which warrants it being thought of the postsecondary second banana? The purpose of this podcast is to respond to these questions by exploring three of the most common myths associated with online education, and determine which — if any — has any basis in fact.

Posted: May 2007Are you satisfied with your job? If not, you should consider getting more education. Education is one of the few tried-and-true methods of enhancing a career. Furthering your education increases your professional competency and makes you more marketable to potential employers. In material terms, this means you will be a better candidate for promotions and you will make more money.
The problem is that for many working adults, going back to school is simply not an option, not if going back to school means quitting their job. But there is an alternative — namely, online education. Online education allows you to go back to school without going anywhere at all. All you need is a computer and an internet connection.
This podcast explores the material advantages of furthering your education, specifically through online education, and then explains some of the ways online education differs from traditional education.
