Bones Cavalier: Online Investor Education-What Should I Invest For? - Video

Harvey Klamm, superintendent of Liberty University Online Academy, was recently awarded the 2012 Corporation and Distance Education Excellence in Education Award by AdvancED, a worldwide organization with 80,000 schools.

Lynchburg, Virginia (PRWEB) March 05, 2012

Klamm said the award represented the success of the entire team who work to provide Christian online homeschooling to more than 1,600 students in grades 3-12.

The Academy has grown because of the hard work of dedicated admissions counselors, academic advisors, Academy teachers and the support of the LU leadership and community, he said.

Liberty University Online Academy is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), an accreditation division of AdvancED, its parent organization.

Liberty University, the worlds largest Christian university, opened its online academy in Fall 2007 with 23 students. Now in its fifth year, more than 1,600 students are enrolled from all 50 states and 24 countries.

Klamm said the growth is due to the popularity of online homeschooling, giving students more independence and an engaging educational experience.

Class instruction is formatted on browser-based software that is delivered by Internet services, Klamm said. Courses are primarily text driven with various forms of interactive components built into the lessons, such as videos, animation, and interactive review games. The lessons are designed to actively engage students in the learning process.

He said the program also gives online high school students a competitive edge for college.

The curriculum is college preparatory in design, Klamm said, adding that with its dual enrollment program, students can complete college credit before ever graduating high school.

On May 1st, 2012, School Improvement Network will release the very first LiveBook, a new, interactive online professional development that will revolutionize the way books are published.

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) March 05, 2012

We developed LiveBook in conjunction with Heidi Hayes Jacobs, a renowned expert in education, and a longtime partner of ours in online professional development, explains Curtis Linton, vice president of School Improvement Network. Education is a dynamic field, full people who are always learning and striving to improve. As a result, ideas in the realm of education are in a constant state of growth. Knowledge, in that way, is a living thing, and we wanted to develop an online professional development learning platform that grows and lives right along with the knowledge it conveys.

LiveBooks are similar to online professional development ebooks in that they are published online and available digitally to readers. However, rather than a single, concluded piece of work, LiveBooks can be updated by their authors at any time, with revisions and additional chapters instantly added to the existing book. LiveBook readers can interact with each other and the author, sharing ideas, notes, and even influencing the development of the book.

Knowledge almost never emerges from a vacuum, Linton says. It is the product of interaction and shared ideas. One of the weaknesses of printed books is that, though they have always been the vessels of knowledge, they are somewhat limited in their ability to reflect what real knowledge looks like and to facilitate its spontaneous growth. LiveBook, as an online professional development tool, is the first innovation that I know of that finally bridges this gap.

School Improvement Network is developing a library of LiveBooks, which will be published in coming months and years. The first of these, Mapping to the Core by Heidi Hayes Jacobs, will be released along with the online professional development LiveBook platform on May 1, 2012.

A Kansas State University online degree program is being rated as one of the best in the nation for students to master education technology.

The program exposes its students, who range from certified K-12 teachers to administrators with doctorates, to the technology available for enhancing education and course structure. Its focus is to equip them with the skills to effectively integrate that technology into their own curricula.

Rosemary Talab, professor of curriculum and instruction, developed the digital teaching and learning program five years ago. Talab said the top-10 listing is a wonderful distinction.

Students in the program receive direction on how to properly utilize diverse technologies in their curriculum, such as social media or programs that allow them to take their own students on virtual field trips. By including these technologies, graduates of the program can increase diversity and interactivity among their students.

"We're building a neural network for the world," Talab said. "Technology can be a wonderful way to connect people."

Talab puts a strong emphasis on academic advising with the program. She says every student deserves to have a clear picture of his or her prospects after graduating, and the quality of a student's academic experience depends on his or her knowledge of the vocational opportunities available.

The introductory meeting on Skype that Talab holds with prospective students gives her the opportunity to align her students' goals with the program's capabilities. It also allows her to assess their goals based on their drive for achievement and job availability.

Talab said she is bothered by the popular notion that online learning is a purely individual effort. She hopes her focus on connecting with her students has contributed to the program's inclusion on GetEducated.com's list.

"I've got people that I've only met face-to-face after they graduate, and I would tell you that I know them as well or better than most people know their students," Talab said. "People ask me, 'How can you have a good experience with online learning?' I say, 'How can you not, if you do it correctly?"
