The Army And Online Education

The armed forces are extremely important to every country. In order to survive and prosper, we need brave and courageous individuals that are prepared to fight for their country and preserve our way of life. However, although they appear to be heroes, we often neglect them in terms of their own futures when they do retire from the army in the years to come. Some army training facilities incorporate an education for individuals signing up, but the majority of them do not. This is where online education often comes in handy!

Online education has opened up an equal possibility for everyone to learn what he or she wants and when he or she wants. It has enabled a high percentage of individuals that thought they would never get the same opportunities as everyone else to learn the same subjects and skills that everyone attending university does every day. Education is far more accessible and that actually included individuals in the army. Online opportunities are vast for the military personnel that do want to advance themselves and yet do not have the time because they have an amazingly vital function to serve for this country. They have as much right as anyone else to an education, if not more so, and thus it is about time that they had the opportunity to prove that they are as worthy of a college degree as everyone else!

Education-The Foundation You Should Build Your Company’s Future Upon

You would not build a home without a foundation and you should not try to build a business venture without a successful foundation as well. As children we are sent school to get an education – to build a foundation so that we can survive and succeed in our daily lives. Without this education we would struggle to get by and face many unnecessary challenges in life. This same principle should be applied as we build our businesses because the more solid our foundation the stronger our company’s chances for survival and success are. Education is not a one-time proposition, either. The need for education continues throughout our lives, every time we turn a new corner or run across a new opportunity.

Education should be shared and encouraged at all levels of a company. The more knowledge that employees possess the stronger the company is. Many folks fail at business ventures because they lack knowledge about how exactly to run a business and how to respond to the problems that business owners always encounter. Too often we hear of stories of a person who was really great at his or her job but failed as a business owner. The excuse offered most often is “under-funded” but isn’t that just another way of saying that the owner just didn’t understand what was needed to be successful?

The Controversy Of Distance Education

It was just really nice to hear that there is a developing alternative method available for people to avail of education even outside the school premises. It was interesting to witness that the world has really been on its track towards globalization and progress. I agree that technological advancement is one of the most evident proofs for almost everyone. I believe that the development of distant education is on its way to being widely accepted by both students and educators because of its inherent and obvious benefits for parties (students and teachers), the government and the business sector. My stand is that distant education, online education, or interactive education, whatever anyone prefers, as an alternative method of knowledge acquisition cannot and should not replace traditional classroom education even if it be an indication of the world’s progress.

Andrew Feenberg, in his article entitled “Reflections on the Distance Learning Controversy” has clearly shown favor for the online education as one of the pioneers of such program. His admiration for the purpose of the program is so obvious when he said that “the virtual classroom was a place of intense intellectual and human interaction” (A. Feenberg). I am personally in favor of pursuing distant education, knowing that such method can help a lot non-traditional students. It maybe possible that “intense intellectual and human interaction”, as Feenberg claimed, can happen in online education. This is so because intelligent and smart students can be found anywhere else in the world, regardless of their nationality and age, as well as teachers. I also agree that such kind of students can be shaped by online education but like traditional classroom learning, the case is relative. I said so because learning depends on how eager and dedicated students are.
