Apple iPad & Online Education
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
The Apple iPad is seen as being an extremely effective platform to integrate with online education technology platforms and Apple eve offers student pricing. The iPad itself is a lightweight, easily transportable and mobile computing platform with integrated 3G and Wi-Fi. This feature alone meshes well with the flexibility and 24 hour access to online educational platforms that online universities and colleges tout as a major advantage over more traditional educational options. Additionally, the iPad also doubles as an effective e-reader which means that electronic college textbooks and electronic university documents from online research databases can all be downloaded and viewed in a convenient and easy-on-the-eye format. Furthermore, the extensive apps (applications) that are available for both the iPad and the iPhone ensure that the iPad has the ability to extend its functionality far beyond a simple e-reader or learning platform. There are numerous educational apps available that ensures students or online learners are able to research, learn and increase their comprehension of the learning material in their courses such as dictionary apps, language apps, grammar apps, as well as mathematical apps with formulas and much, much more. The Apple iPad allows online learners to access all of their learning material anywhere, anytime and in a comfortable easy to read format. All the while being able to listen to music, stay connected on their social networking sites such as Facebook and Flipboard and a host of other rapidly developing solutions and applications.

Managing Your Online Class
Friday, January 29th, 2010
Recently, a number of our clients have requested that we manage their online courses for them. These students are employed full-time and typically have a family to support or bills to pay or both making the time and focus required to manage an online course difficult to manage. Because of the growing need for these types of services, we designed an online course management service which transfers the pressure and stress from taking an online class from the student to the writer. For a pre-determined fee we assign a writer who is familiar with the course topic and has a degree in the subject area and that writer then logs into your online course platform such as Blackboard or similar and does the daily or weekly postings or substantive comments that are required by most online classes to show course participation. Additionally, the writer managing the course takes care of any other online tasks that are required such as online exams, group meetings, and related activities so that you can continue to work productively and spend time with your family. While the cost for written work is still charged at the assigned per page rate we do offer a 10% discount to all clients that sign up for the managed course service. For more information email, call or IM and let’s get you out the classroom and into your career.

Degress = Practicality
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
The New York Times points out that college degrees and the schools that offer them are now attempting to make these degree more relevant to the workplace. Students are more concerned about their employment prospects now than at any time in the past and this is a critical shift in college student mindset. It also says something about the character of what a college education has become and what sector of society is defining what it means to be educated. This is why universities such as the University of Phoenix have been so successful because while most traditional universities tend to look askance at the University of Phoenix, almost all universities are now employing almost the same exact online format for some or all of their programs that the University of Phoenix has employed for years–don’t believe me, even Harvard now offers online degrees and online learning platforms and courses–see the Harvard Extension School. However, for those who are concerned about their employment prospects take a look at the University of Phoenix’s online programs that are targeting the workplace specifically:

MBA Coursework is Demanding
Sunday, December 20th, 2009
Many students the world over have been flocking to MBA or Masters in Business Administration degree programs in order to make themselves more competitive. These MBA degrees are offered in traditional on-campus formats, distance programs, flex-format programs, and in numerous online programs such as those found at the University of Phoenix or even the famous INSEAD institution in Europe. These programs are all effective and useful in their own right. While many may not have the cachet or reputation of Harvard’s MBA program with its history with the development of the Harvard Case Study method, these programs do excel in their own fashion. They all teach the learners how to perform fundamental MBA analysis such as BCG Matrix, SWOT Analysis, TOWS Chart, SPACE Matrix, Marketing Audits and a host of other MBA tools. Additionally, because of the expanding dominance of the online format for many MBA programs, students can enroll in these programs from virtually anywhere on the globe.
