without comments

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) February 23, 2012

Anthem High School, a partnership between Anthem College Online and Smart Horizons Career Online Education (SHCOE), is now online and accepting students.

“We are excited to partner with Smart Horizons,” says Darcy Richardson, Division President of Anthem College Online. “Both our organizations want to offer adult learners the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and support their efforts. More adults realize that education is critical to getting a better life for themselves and their families. Anthem High School is one path they can use to begin working toward their educational and career goals.”

Students who are interested in learning basic workplace skills, such as Microsoft Office, communication, and time management, can work toward a Professional Skills Development Certificate while they earn their high school diploma.

Anthem High School graduates can continue their education through Anthem College Online, the online division of Anthem College-Phoenix, part of Anthem Education. It offers post-secondary education and training programs in the following fields:

    Accounting Technology     Business Management     Criminal Justice     Health Information Management     Healthcare Management     Medical Assisting     Medical Office Administration     Paralegal

Depending on the program, students can earn an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science degree, except for the Medical Office Administration program, which offers a Diploma only. Two programs―Healthcare Management and Medical Assisting―offer degree completion options as well.

SHCOE is the first online school district to receive accreditation from AdvancED/SACS. The organization shares many of the same goals as Anthem College Online, says SHCOE Board Chairman Richard Goldman, Ph.D. “Both of our organizations prepare students to succeed in their education and careers, and provide skilled employees. I believe that together, we can serve as a model to help improve the educational outlook for many people and maybe even help improve our economy.”

Companies looking to expand online public education in Iowa

Iowa Connections Academy Altoona Info Meeting

When: 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24.
Where: Holiday Inn Express, 165 Adventureland Drive N.W.
Who should attend: Families interested in kindergarten through 12th-grade online education

Education chief: Online academies will face scrutiny

The CAM and Clayton Ridge school districts will face heavy scrutiny next school year as they begin offering virtual academies to state students, said Jason Glass, Iowa Department of Education director.
Connections Academy, based in Baltimore, and K12 Inc., of Virginia, will begin partnerships with Iowa�s CAM and Clayton Ridge districts, respectively, in July. The partnerships will allow Iowa students to attend the virtual classes without leaving their homes.
Some Iowa educators say allowing the for-profit companies in the state is the same as creating a voucher system, in which students take state money to attend the school of their choice. The partnerships will create competition among cash-strapped, mostly rural districts, where leaders mostly worry about students being shortchanged, several educators said.
Educators will present their concerns Feb. 22 to the Government Oversight Committee.

Online driver education vote delayed

Posted: at 2:05 pm


without comments

Legislators postponed a vote yesterday on a bill allowing New Hampshire teens to take driver education online so that two dramatically different amendments - one co-written by the bill's prime sponsor - could be married into one.

Several House Transportation Committee members said while they support the idea of online education, they could not vote for the bill without a requirement of lessons from a certified driving instructor.

But the sponsor, Rep. Laura Jones of Rochester, said she'll fight against that requirement when the bill goes before the full House, and she thinks she might win.

"A majority of the committee wants to move that forward, but I think the floor as a whole may have a different mindset," Jones said after the committee meeting.

The bill, which Jones sponsored along with Rep. Tara Sad, a Walpole Democrat, allows New Hampshire residents who are at least 15½ years old to take a driver education course online and complete 10 hours of driving time supervised by a parent, guardian or other licensed driver who is at least 30 years old.

At a hearing on the bill last month, teens and parents spoke out against the high cost of driver education courses, which range from $400 to almost $700 in different corners of the state.

The cost is prohibitive for many teens, who often opt to wait until they turn 18 when the educational requirement is waived. Allowing a lower-cost online option would put more educated drivers on the road, supporters said.

The executive session on the bill was an emotional one for several members of the committee, who described motor vehicle crashes they witnessed as law enforcement officers or as parents.

For Rep. Lisa Scontsas, whose 16-year-old daughter died in a car crash in 2008, without the professional instruction requirement, the bill loses her support.

With emotion breaking her words, she told the committee "you can't put a dollar on life. Safety comes first."

Rep. John Tholl, a Republican from Whitefield, proposed the amendment requiring professional instruction.

He supports online education, but not without real-world instruction, too, he said.

"My background is 40 years of law enforcement. . . . I don't want to pass a bill that compromises safety simply because it's cheaper," he said.

Some parents just sign the documents saying they did the required 40 hours of supervised driving with their teen when they haven't, Tholl said. What's to stop them from doing so under the new law, and how much would that limit teen drivers' training if that is all the supervised driving that's required, committee members said.

If the bill focused on home-schooling families, some representatives said they would have no problem supporting it without the professional instruction requirement. Parents who made the decision to home-school will be much less likely to skirt the requirements, they said.

"I mean no disrespect to the home-school community, but the rest of the state, we don't have that same commitment and level of dedication," said Rep. Brian Rhodes, a Democrat from Nashua, speaking in support of Tholl's amendment.

Jones, working with Rep. John Hikel of Goffstown, transportation committee clerk, proposed a different amendment increasing the required driving time to 20 hours, limiting the instruction to parents and grandparents and imposing a penalty on teens who fail their driving or written test after taking an online course.

Those students would then have to take an in-person driving education course.

"We tried to make it so everyone was happy. It's as reasonable as possible," said Rep. Kyle Jones, Rep. Laura Jones's son and a member of the transportation committee. (next page »)

Cupids in Second Life: A 3D Online Virtual Learning Environment – Video

Posted: at 12:44 am

02-02-2012 09:51 http://www.andrewmercer.ca Whether it is Star Trek's holodeck, The Matrix or the movie Avatar, science fiction writers have dreamed of technologies that would allow us to connect and immerse ourselves into a 'make believe' environment. If real, this would be an incredibly entertaining piece of technology and offer great educational potential? Students could visit and explore an artificial environment such as the inside of a volcano, the Globe Theatre on the day it burned, or the inside of a human's vocal mechanism. We would need only to dream up where we want to send our students. My advice to educators is to start dreaming, because with a technology called Second Life these kinds of immersive educational environments are no longer science fiction. Second Lifeis an immersive online technology. More specifically, it is a 3D virtual world where participants have opportunities to interact, roleplay and become immersed in an environment created by the participants of Second Life. The world within Second Life appears similar to the real world, with gravity, topography, locomotion, real-time actions and communication that include public and private text and voice capabilities. Second Life, for many who use it, is considered a game. However for other participants it is an 'educational game' or provides 'serious game environments' in which people can learn, work and play. (M. Brooks, personal communication, July 16, 2010) Second Life is a free application that can be downloaded and run ...
