What’s the Latest Buzz on Online Medical Education

October 31, 2013 by Guest Contributor

The advent of the internet and personal computers revolutionized the way we receive information. Modern technology makes it possible to educate and train the next generation of health care providers in a virtual classroom (such as those at CNACertification-Training.com). While online education creates opportunities for many people, especially those unable to pursue an education otherwise, it does not come without challenges and concerns. Many professionals are concerned that the quality of education received online may be substandard. Lack of personal interaction, potential academic dishonesty, and inadequate training of instructors bring into question the reliability of these distant learning programs.

Team Work

Classroom vs online medical educations: which is right for you?A universal concern among skeptics of online curriculum is the seeming lack of interpersonal interaction between peers, students, and faculty. There is doubt that online programs provide the necessary training to prepare students for working as part of a group. All healthcare workers are part of a team of professionals providing patient care. Learning to communicate and cooperate with others is essential to building a cohesive unit, and without it, patient care suffers. An online classroom generally does not afford the opportunity of face-to-face collaboration. And an individual, knowledgeable in theory, may yet be ill equipped to work with others. Most online programs deal with this issue through the use of online forums requiring students to post a certain number of comments on each assignment. This allows students to provide and receive feedback on their ideas from other students and the professor.

The Honor Code

Academic honesty is another concern. The anonymity provided by [Read more…] about What’s the Latest Buzz on Online Medical Education

Tips for Non-Traditional Students

November 11, 2012 by Karen Schweitzer

If you are over the age of 25 and have decided to continue your education, you are considered a non-traditional student. And you’re not alone. More and more adults are choosing to go back to school to continue their education. Many of the keys to success are the same for regular college students and non-traditional students. However, there are a few tips that may help the latter feel more comfortable and increase their chances of succeeding in an academic program.

Choose the Right Program as a Non-Traditional Student

non-traditional studentNot all programs are suited to non-traditional students. Take time to find a school and program that suits your needs. If you can’t attend school full-time, look for a part-time program. If you would feel more comfortable with students your own age, consider a community college–there may be more non-traditional students.  If you don’t know very much about a particular school, call the admissions office to ask questions or schedule a campus visit.

Consider Online Education

Non-traditional students sometimes make up the bulk of a class in an online program. The reason for this is that online schools understand the value of flexibility. Most programs have been designed with the non-traditional student in mind. Class schedules are not set in stone so that working parents can devote time to school when they have it. If you do consider online education, take time to find the right school. Look for programs that are accredited and charge reasonable tuition. [Read more…] about Tips for Non-Traditional Students

Why Going to School in Pajamas is Right For You

October 24, 2012 by Allanah Canalija

College typically encompasses some of the best years in a young person’s life: why the dorms, the shared bathrooms, the terrible food, the overpriced books, the exorbitant tuition, the parties, the hangovers. Ah, what a time. Who doesn’t remember the joys of being a ninth year senior? But, this is not for everyone. Are you thinking about going to college but feel like you don’t have the time? Or maybe you’re trying to earn a specialized degree that isn’t offered in your area? Or you already have a job and want to earn a better paying position with an advanced degree? Today, the advancement of online technology makes going to college as simple as waking up and turning on your computer. Here are some of the benefits:

1. Sleep Until 3pm and Never Miss Class (and wear pajamas to school when you do)

go to school in pajamasIs waking up a problem for you? Do you hate mornings with a passion? Maybe you’re a club promoter at night or in a band? Well, forget ever having to wake up at dawn to snooze through music theory 101 ever again!

Taking classes online is great for people with alternative schedules that are not able to go to class during normal daytime hours. Most classes are easily downloaded or streamed so you can watch them whenever it is convenient for you and even wear pajamas in school!

Going Back To School? Here Are The Top 5 Online Programs To Pursue

July 12, 2012 by Guest Contributor

Top 5 Online Programs

Today’s job market is tough. If you are thinking about going back to school but don’t want to waste your money on degrees that won’t help you find a career that is in demand, take a look at some online programs that will pay for themselves. One major benefit of taking classes online is that anyone from almost anywhere can have access to a computer these days.  Case in point, in the picture below, a young Brazilian man checks out the new computer center in the city of Cabrália, Brazil. The center provides broadband access, 3G mobile Internet, and custom applications for managing fishing businesses, equipment, and training. Once trained and properly equipped, local fishermen, including those from the Pataxó indigenous ethnic group, will be able to broker deals with buyers, access weather information, and manage economic activities, all in real-time.

1. Business Administration

Online programs in business administration start at the associate degree level and go all the way up to the MBA, or Masters of Business Administration. If you have never attended college or didn’t earn a degree when you did, the two-year degree is a great place to start. You can always continue working toward a more advanced degree one step at a time. Expect to take classes in all areas of business for these degrees, including management, economics, and accounting to develop a broad knowledge base. According the the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Catalog a wide variety of jobs require an MBA, including everything from Financial Analysts, to Top Corporate Executives, Atmospheric Scientists and museum curators.

Online Program2. Education

If you love children, a teaching career could be a great fit for you in a growing field. It’s no secret that the world population is growing at an exponential rate, leading to an increase in demand for educators to teach the growing number of children. Bachelors degrees in education can be earned online, but many states require that you also spend a certain amount of time in a classroom to earn your teaching certificate. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the number of jobs for teachers is expected to increase faster than the average for all occupations through 2018.

 

3. Computer Science

Computer science degrees are perfectly formatted for online learning because you are learning in the environment you will need to know inside and out to complete your degree. Whether you are interested in web development, computer programming or software engineering, you can find a specialized degree that you can complete 100 percent online. According to the BLS positions like software developers is projected to grow 30 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations.
