Adult education is changing. Going back to school used to mean physically going back to school. Today, fully-accredited universities operate online. Capella University, which has over 17,000 students from all around the world, actually functions completely online!Some may wonder whether a virtual campus would suit their needs. They may have questions about whether the faculty on the other side of the computer monitor is up to task. Based on recent happenings at Capella, those concerns seem unfounded.
Professor Sara Orem is a professional consultant who owns and operates her own coaching firm. She combines real-world experience with academic experience as an adjunct faculty member at Capella. Orem recently had a new book published on the interesting topic of "appreciative coaching". The text outlines an approach that involves a four-step process for achieving maximum inspiration and achievement (discovery, dream, design and destiny).
With faculty like Orem working with its students, Capella is proving that there is a new way to handle going back to school. You don't necessarily need to stand in enrollment lines or labor over a difficult schedule that doesn't fit your lifestyle. Adult education is getting more accessible without compromising quality!
