Education Distance University?

admin — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 01:54:07 +0000

Hi, im in the EU (Sweden) and wonder if there are any international
educations avalible from accredited university's online.
Distance courses with minimum presence required.
I DONT mean those "get your education in 7 days" things, just
an accredited university where you can get your education faster
depending on your effort rather then 3 years with is the minimum standard here.

.

There are loads of accredited Universities providing distance ed. degrees. In addition to rather expensive for-profit ones like Phoenix, there are US state universities like Kansas State, MacQuarrie University in Austrailia, and Athabasca University in Canada.

Be warned though. These are real degrees and you have to do a full share of work. Distance Ed. really isn't a way to get an accredited degree faster…. just easier for some.

Are You Being Displaced By Technology?

Would you like to advance your knowledge in Information Technology (IT)? If you are, I believed that you have already found out more information about them. But do be extra careful that you should only consider those schools that are accredited. University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) is one of such schools that award a Master of Science in Information System and is fully accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. UMBC is recognized as one of the top research universities in the nation. Completing a graduate program with them will certainly give you an added advantage over your peers.

The completely online program is designed for professionals working in the IT field who want to advance their career. The schools welcome those into the program with or without prior experience or education in information systems.
The program covers three levels. In Level 1, you will have to take fundamental subject such as introduction to information systems. In Level 2, you will have to take the core courses will cover management information system, networks, database management systems and structured systems analysis and design. In Level 3, which is the Advanced Courses, you will have to complete at least six courses choosing from Interaction Design, Enterprise-Wide Computing, Project Management Operations, Health Informatics and Electronic Commerce, Computer and Network Security and Capstone Project. As you can see from the curriculum, the course has covered a wide spectrum of areas.

As IT advances every day in a rapid manner, what was known to be the best six months ago may not be applicable today. Similarly, the knowledge and skills you have acquired before may not be relevant today as well. In order for you to keep pace with the relentless changes in the IT environment, you will need to upgrade your existing knowledge and skills. This can be done through attending conferences, reading journals or even taking up an advance course such as the one offered by UMBC. Whatever mode you may choose from, or a combination of them, it will certainly equipped you will new knowledge and skills to tackler challenging problems and providing effective solutions.

The ever changing IT environment and technology will make you redundant if you still rely on your existing skills and knowledge. It is always timely for you to upgrade your knowledge to stay on with the race and keep yourself competitive. Do not be displaced by technology but replace technology with your skills.

Tampa Schools

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:42:22 +0000

Children throughout Tampa wake up each Monday through Friday and head out to school, lunch and books in hand. While they may bemoan another day filled with reading, writing and arithmetic, they are receiving their education from one of the highest ranked school districts in the state.

Hillsborough County School District has a policy of offering a dynamic cross-section of schooling options because they understand that a “one size fits all” education doesn’t coalesce with their community. These include Walton Academy of the Performing Arts and two teen parent schools. Among the public schooling options are magnet and charter schools.

Magnet Schools

Magnet schools offer students a more exploratory education. Students must show a strong interest in the field of study of their chosen magnet school in order to be considered for enrollment. Even though magnet schools educate studies concentrated in a specific field, they are funded by the state and school district and must adhere to the performance standards just like traditional public schools. Most students of magnet schools go on to complete post-secondary education in their field of study. Magnet schools, listed with their field of study, in the New Tampa area include: Cahoon Elementary, Animal Science

Dunbar Elementary, Math/Science/Technology

Lee Elementary, World Studies

Lincoln Elementary, International Studies/International Baccalaureate

Lockhart Elementary, Foreign Language & Global Studies; Visual/Performing/Communication Arts

Lomax Elementary, Math/Science/Technology

MacFarlane International Studies/International Baccalaureate

Muller Elementary, Environmental Studies; Visual/Performing/Communication Arts

Philip Shore Elementary, Visual/Performing/Communication Arts

Rampello Kindergarten through 8, Cultural Arts & Humanities

Charter Schools

While magnet schools offer highly concentrated curriculums, charter schools offer highly specialized teaching styles. Charter schools are owned and operated privately with subsidization through Hillsborough County School District and the State of Florida. They are just as accountable as traditional and magnet public schools through FCAT testing (more on this under “Standards”, below.) Charter schools often require parents to commit to a number of hours of volunteer work throughout the school year. They also require that parents understand their particular charter, or contract. Examples of charter school options include those that teach in Montessori style, Core Curriculum or Independent Study (distance learning.)

Any student that qualifies for public education in Hillsborough County may apply to attend a charter school, regardless of how far or close the student lives from the school.

Standards

The Sunshine State Standards, or SSS, are the uniform educational criteria for each grade level from Kindergarten through graduation. All public and most private schools in Florida have adopted these standards and teach material so that students will meet or exceed them. In 1998, the State of Florida began testing students based on the criteria to gauge the effectiveness of the SSS. A consortium of educators and instructional professionals from around the United States came up with the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, or FCAT.

Students are tested annually from third grade through eleventh. Reading and math tests are given each year. Writing is assessed in all grades except fifth and eleventh grades. Science knowledge is tested in fifth, eighth and tenth.

Beginning in the 2005-2006 school year, students are required to successfully pass the tenth grade test to qualify for a regular high school diploma upon graduation. Students scoring less than a passing grade on any of the subjects tested are offered subsequent testing opportunities during their eleventh and twelfth grade years.

According to 2005 testing scores, Florida students scored at or above the national average in fourth grade reading, fourth and eighth grade writing, fourth grade science and fourth grade mathematics. All other grade levels and areas of study that were compared showed Floridian students were close to national averages and gaining ground.

Gorrie Elementary, located just a mile from the University of Tampa in West Tampa, scored highest of all elementary schools in fourth grade reading and mathematics among all Hillsborough schools tested in 2006. Roosevelt Elementary, located in the Palma Ceia area, scored highest for fourth grade writing skills of all Hillsborough County schools during 2006.

Terrace Community Middle School, a charter school located just south of New Tampa, scored highest among all eight graders tested in 2006 in Hillsborough County middle schools for math and science. Wilson Middle, located in the Davis Island community, scored highest among eighth graders in reading and writing.

Palma Ceia area’s Plant High School scored highest among all Hillsborough County tenth graders for math, reading and writing in 2006.

New Tampa schools showed remarkable staying power and above average scores for each of their six elementary, two middle and two high schools. Each school scored 300 or more in all subjects tested in 2006, for grades four, eight and ten.

Private Schools in Tampa

Some families in the New Tampa area prefer a religious or college preparatory private school for their children to receive their education. While the list of private education options is copious, below is a list of a few of the most prominent private schools in the area, as well as their particular specialty. Berkeley Preparatory School operates to create well-rounded, college bound students. They provide education from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The teachers and staff strive to educate students beyond reading, writing and arithmetic; they offer competitive sports and arts as well as numerous clubs and community service projects.

The Academy of Holy Names is one of the oldest private schools in the Tampa area, having been founded in 1881. Their pre-kindergarten through eighth grade offers excellence in education to both boys and girls. Ninth through twelfth grade classes are restricted to an all-female student body. The school’s teaching are based on the Catholic faith. Students are not required to be of the Catholic faith to attend, though nearly three-quarters are.

The Jesuit School is an all-boy school with a reputation for turning out high-achieving graduates. This school was founded 18 years after the Academy of Holy Names. Jesuit School education includes numerous missionary and community service opportunities for its students. Students are not required to be members of the Jesuit Church.

In 2002, a three-decade old school began unpacking boxes in their new, state of the art facility across from Tampa its former home at the University of Tampa. Tampa Preparatory School serves students and their family from sixth grade through twelfth. Tampa Prep doesn’t offer remedial classes, their program was designed to offer challenging coursework in core subjects as well as a wide diversity of other subjects – fine art, computer technology, music, dance, theater, golf, track, swimming, volleyball, soccer, baseball, basketball and wrestling.

Co-ed students at Tampa Catholic High School receive their education in the three R’s as well as the three purposes set forth by the Catholic faith – teaching the Message of God as revealed in Christ and through His Church; building Community through fellowship in the life of the Holy Spirit; and providing opportunities for Service to the community. After school, students continue their education by taking part in some of the nearly two dozen clubs and extra-curricular activities. Tampa Catholic’s philosophy is to educate the entire student- mind, body, and spirit.
