Online Education and Your Career
Online Education and Your Career
I recall being in college and wishing at times that I didn’t have to make that trek across campus just to sit in a lecture that I wasn’t going to listen to. Now don’t get me wrong, I generally listened when I attended class, about 90% of the time. As a matter of fact, that was how I did well – if I wasn’t interested in the subject in class, I wasn’t likely to do that well in the course overall. The professor generally had my attention or he/she didn’t.
Students are very fortunate these days with the introduction of online education into our learning system. Most schools and universities still require that students attend class regularly, but just think of how convenient and easy life has become for the majority of students who can retrieve lecture notes and discussions from professors and fellow students? The combination of formal classroom settings and online tools and resources can be an unbeatable forum for learning.
Consider the power of online education for those who work full-time or are otherwise unable to attend a formal classroom setting. Many people have achieved master’s degrees and brushed up on much-needed skills through online courses and programs. Yet another component of online education relies on podcasts. Podcasts have emerged as a way to introduce a specific audience to a career path or an inside look into a chosen discipline or career. Capella university, an accredited online university with more than 19,000 students, is providing ongoing education with their ‘Inside Online Education’ series. If you’ve ever wondered if online education is for you, or if real people actually succeed in life with it, their podcast series can help answer some of your most pressing questions. With people working in their actual career or field talking about their daily experiences and the benefits they have derived from online education, everyone is sure to benefit from this offering. What is most amazing is that someone like Carla Chladek, who is Program manager for the Joint Staff Training Program at the Pentagon, is lending her insights to thousands of listeners who may otherwise never hear what she has to say about her experiences in pursuing a master’s degree in education at Capella University.
Podcasting as a viable component of online education will continue to gain prominence as schools such as Capella University continue to find creative ways to educate people form all walks of life.
