You've probably heard that the right education can deliver a boost to your earning power, but you don't often see hard data on just how much of a difference it can make. The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) published statistics from its own survey of the nation's job market, and there's some real food for thought in the numbers:

Salary advantages aren't the end of the story, either; the BLS also found that high school grads with no college experience are almost twice as likely to be unemployed as workers who have a bachelor's.

Online degrees are more accessible today than ever, thanks to advancements in broadband connectivity, software tech and a growing number of traditional institutions offering programs in virtual classrooms. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) counts 717 colleges and universities in the U.S. where students can earn various undergraduate business degrees online, and more than 1,200 schools in the country have online training options for students looking to enter the health care field.

Enrollment in online courses and programs climbed each year from 2003 to 2013, according to a 2014 report published by the Online Learning Consortium, more than tripling from 1.97 million to 6.71 million in just those ten years. It's also reported that negative perceptions of online programs among employers have declined considerably -- three out of four employers see a qualification earned online as equal to those earned on campus, according to a recent article in U.S. News and World Report.

If you're thinking of giving online education a shot, here's a list of some of the best online degrees available this year.

LITTLE ROCK (AGFC) Boaters looking for a Boating Education course near them now have the option to take the complete course and test online, from the comfort of their own home.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has offered an online course option for many years, but participants were required to print a certificate at home and go to a testing site near them to complete their test. Thanks to recent legislation, the requirement of a proctored, in-person exam has been lifted to make it easier for people to get on Arkansass waters and stay safe while doing so.

If you pass the test, you will receive a temporary voucher to print until your permanent card arrives in the mail, said Alex Hinson, AGFC Boating Education coordinator. The online option is administered by Kalkomey, who handles boating and hunter education for many states, and is customized to fit Arkansass boating laws.

While convenient, the online option does cost a small fee. Kalkomey collects $24.50 for the online course.

The AGFC still offers, and recommends, free in-person classes for boater education. Classes last a six hours, which can be completed in two nights or a full day, depending on the course scheduled.

I personally feel that people get a lot more out of the in-person classes, especially younger students, Hinson said. Theres just more opportunity to have questions answered and clear up anything that a person might be confused about. But the new option is definitely more convenient.

Anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1986 and of legal age to operate a motorboat or sailboat, must have successfully completed an approved boating education course and carry proof while operating a motorboat or sailboat on Arkansas waters. To operate a motorboat powered by an engine of 10 horsepower or more, a person must be 12 or older, or be under the direct supervision of a person at least 18. To operate a personal watercraft, a person must be 16 or older, be 12 to 15 years old and under the direct supervision of someone at least 18. People younger than 12 may only operate a personal watercraft while under the direct supervision of someone at least 21.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. Penn State World Campus is using 360-degree videos and virtual reality for the first time with the goal of improving the educational experience for online learners.

The technology has been implemented in the curriculum of a graduate-level special education course in Penn States summer semester. Students can use a VR headset to watch 360-degree videos on a device such as a smartphone.

The course, Special Education 801, focuses on how teachers can respond to challenging behaviors, and the 360-degree videos place students in a classroom where they see an instructor explaining strategies for arranging the classroom in ways best-suited for the learning activity. The videos were produced using a 360-degree video camera and uploaded into the course in just a few a days.

Theres something about putting that headset on and immersing yourself in your learning environment that allows you to make a deeper connection with what youre learning, said Chris Millet, director of Penn State World Campus learning design operations. Weve made a quantum leap in terms of the effectiveness of how these concepts are taught for a small amount of effort and expense.

The goal is to see if students retained the knowledge better by using the immersive videos compared to a two-dimensional illustration created in PowerPoint, the original method for illustrating this content, which is still available. The students also can watch 360-degree video on YouTube without a VR headset.

Millet said the research his team has done showed that concepts that have a spatial component that students can explore are the best applications for this technology.

The videos give students the opportunity to better understand the content and skills they are learning, said associate professor Katie Hoffman, who appears in the videos.

The idea is for teachers to think about their goals of a lesson or activity and how they physically arrange their rooms, said Hoffman, who is also the coordinator of online special education programs for the Penn State College of Education. The 360-degree videos allow them to see it from the teacher perspective and a student perspective.

The idea to use VR technology started with a group of World Campus learning designers. Designer Linas Mockus immediately thought of using it in the special education course.

Whats better than actually going into a classroom and capturing the environment? he said. The idea is that while youre immersed in this VR environment, you can control what you see and what you look at.

Millet is optimistic that 360-degree videos can be implemented in many courses offered online through Penn State World Campus. The same group of World Campus learning designers is working on using the technology for a lesson in a graduate-level nursing course to help students identify potentially unsafe living spaces for elderly people.

We always think about the pedagogical reasons why we are doing this, not just using technology to use it, Mockus said. 360-video lets students experience the virtual environment and understand concepts better. Thats why we think it shows a lot of promise in online education.

Its weird what sorts of stories catch our eye.

Sometimes, Ill read something that I just cant shake. Ill learn about a trend or a statistic, and then Ill keep wondering about what that information means for the future of higher education.

The latest trend that I think must somehow illuminate the future world of colleges and universities has to do with laundromats. A recent article in The Atlantic called The Decline of the American Laundromat related the following statistics:

"According to data from the Census Bureau, the number of laundry facilities in the U.S. has declined by almost 20 percent since 2005, with especially precipitous drops in metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles (17 percent) and Chicago (23 percent)."

The reasons that the author of The Atlantic piece gives for the decline in laundromats is the increasing value of the buildings in which they are located. In densely populated areas with rising property prices, such as San Francisco or Boston or New York (what Richard Florida calls superstar cities), coin operated laundromats simply cant generate enough revenues. They are being replaced by either upscale housing or retail businesses with high per-square foot sales. This is leaving city residents who depend on laundromats with few options to get their sheets, towels, and clothing cleaned.

So, is there anything that we can extract from the laundromat story about where higher ed might be going? Any weak signals that we can amplify?

The decline of laundromats makes me think of the disappearance of physical places where people once gathered. On campuses, the best example is probably computer labs. Many colleges once had game rooms, but like arcades everywhere they now gone.

When I was in college we used to go each week to watch movies chosen by the university film society - called the Filmboard. I never hear about my older daughter going to campus movie screenings, as she and her friends seem to gather around laptops to watch video.

Of course, there is the whole question of the long-term viability of much of our physical spaces. Who is not fascinated by dead malls - and deadmalls.com?

Who amongst us has wondered if the future of online education and physical classrooms will one-day mimic that of online shopping and bricks-and-mortar retail?

What about Moore's Law? (Or whatever the equivalent law that exists for durable appliances).Could one reason for the decline in laundromats be the drop in real prices for home washing machines and dryers?

A washer and dryer in 1953 cost an average of $495 dollars. In today's dollars that amount would be $4,541 dollars.

Could laundromats be following the trajectory of computer labs, disappearing because the real cost of owning the technology (as opposed to renting or using it) is going down?

Not all coin operated laundry machines are going away. They remain a fixture of residence halls, even if most are now moving from coin payments to being able to pay with your student ID.

What the decline of American laundromats really tells us about the future of higher education is a story that we dont like to talk about. That is the story of increasing inequality. Of the gap between those who can afford an ever-increasing bounty of amenities, and of others in our society who are increasingly excluded from these advantages.

For those that can afford higher education, the experiences that they will have in college are improving. Everything is better at my college today than when I was an undergraduate from 1987 to 1991. The teaching is better. The classrooms are better. The dorms are nicer. The food is much much better.

My expectation is that the quality of higher education will continue to improve, but these improvements will be enjoyed by an ever fewer numbers of the very most privileged of students.

The decline of the American laundromat story, I fear, another indication of the concentration of privilege. This story, I suspect, will be the master trend that will shape the contours of U.S. postsecondary education over the next few decades.

How would you build a narrative around the history of the laundromat, and the future of higher education?

A SHOW taking place between 9pm and 9am the following morning may sound a bit of a slog, but what if you got a sleep? What if sleep was a key part of the deal? Helmed by Glasgow kosmische pop duo Happy Meals, Full Ashram Sleep Garden for which you are asked to bring your own sleeping bag and pillows aims to be a 12-hour communal immersion involving live music, visual art, food, sleep and yoga curated to encourage the forming of a quantum community consciousness through shared experience.

So far, so far-out. Held at Kinning Park Complex, it features a cast of similarly inquisitive DJs, musicians and artist-performers such as Sofay, synth polymaths Helena Celle and Sue Zuki, and one-offs such as gentle chanteuse Wenonoah (left), Optimo Musics Taoist-influenced instrumentalist Iona Fortune and Alex Macarte (right), drummer with industrial crew Gnod, who will perform in his droney, loopy solo guise Ahrkh.

The guidance given to musicians is that the 12 hours will be split into seven phases, each of which is linked to the alchemical stages of transformation, explains Suzanne Rodden, one half of Happy Meals with Lewis Cook.

For example, midnight to 1am is separation which will involve guided meditation and will be consciously bringing the music into a more minimal sphere.

Phase four is fermentation 3am to 6.30am and is the deep sleep phase, she continues. This part of the night may only be drones, tones and very low frequencies of sound, for example. The idea is that the music and visuals will gradually and naturally allow people to relax into deep sleep and back again.

In the morning, theres an optional all-abilities yoga class and breakfast provided by the Milk Cafe. Like the artists, the Glasgow social enterprise is volunteering their time for the event, which will donate all profits to CalAid, a humanitarian aid charity working with displaced people.

It was really important to us that inward reflection leads to outward reaction and in a way we wanted to embody that sentiment, says Rodden.

The idea of a continuous performance and a collaboration between a community of artists is a concept weve been thinking about for a long time, she says. The night is centred on the idea of complete immersion. We arent looking for there to be a distinction between artists and audience, but rather, everyone involved is a participant over the 12 hours.

We also hope that by taking away traditional expectations of what would normally be part of a performance, like clapping and conversation between sets, everyone involved will be able to drop themselves into a deep state of relaxation and eventually sleep.

Its going to be a night of incredible sounds, visuals and deep vibrations.

Excerpt from:

Music: Full Ashram Sleep Garden wants to provide a 'quantum community' concert experience - The National

This article originally appeared on Noisey Australia.

There is something both revelatory and startling about hearing the devotional music of Alice Coltrane. Having dwelt in obscurity for so long, heard only in musty corners of the internet or passed from hand to hand on cassette, the recordings Coltrane made at her Sai Anantam Ashram in Agoura, California after she'd turned away from the secular world and her jazz career are like opening a portal to another time/space dimension. Music nerds and new age collectors knew about them in the 1990s, circulating the worship tapes and CDs privately pressed by the ashram's in house label, Avatar Book Institute. Their plainspoken titles: Turiya Sings (1982), Divine Songs (1987), Infinite Chants (1990), Glorious Chants (1995) and unpretentious word-processed artwork barely hinting at the extraordinary music they contained traditional Hindu devotional chants, swirled through the vortex of Coltrane's musical incarnations, from the lush harp glissandos and Indian percussion she'd brought to spiritual jazz, to her earlier classical music studies and the Detroit gospel blues she'd grown up singing in church.

As Alice Coltrane's monumental influence as a spiritual jazz pioneer began to be felt after her death in 2007, so did awareness of the cosmic sounds she'd made as Alice Turiyasangitananda Coltrane, or Swamini to her avid students. Her great-nephew, Flying Lotus, who grew up attending her Sunday services on the ashram, began to champion her music and bring it into the realms of hip-hop and electronic music. Once belittled by custodians of jazz history, who'd scorned her as a handmaiden to her late husband John Coltrane's genius, an imitator at best; the story of Alice Coltrane's own genius began to be written, with first a trickle, then a flood of praise for her extraordinary, exultant, almost impossibly beautiful music. Her towering albums from the early 1970s Journey in Satchidananda, Ptah, the El Daoud and Universal Consciousness have been recognised as spiritual jazz masterpieces, whose mastery and vision are delivered with a purity of intention which leaves no doubt as to the deep connectedness between Alice Coltrane and her source.

To listen to these ecstatic chants is to open a window onto a private world of a community under the gentle sway of a guru without ego; a humble teacher who literally gave herself and her manifest musical gifts over to a higher power.

And slowly, a cultural awareness has grown of her devotional music which was never intended for audiences outside the community of her ashram. Made with the sole intention of accessing the divine, of elevating herself and her community into a sublime state, this music is the purest manifestation of the higher consciousness into which she'd ascended. Neither hushed nor monastic, this is music that sounds incredibly alive a joyous cacophony of blissed out chanting and gospel-like shouts of praise amidst the dizzying swoop of Alice's synthesiser, at once ancient and futuristic, like the sound of exploding stars. To listen to these ecstatic chants is to open a window onto a private world of a community under the gentle sway of a guru without ego; a humble teacher who literally gave herself and her manifest musical gifts over to a higher power. And with the first major reissue of the ashram tapes, via Luaka Bop's World Spirituality Classics 1: The Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, and a new iteration of the Sai Anantam Ashram Singers soon to perform one of only a handful of concerts worldwide at Melbourne's Supersense Festival -- Alice's radiant cosmos is expanding into mainstream consciousness.

To those of us on the outside listening in, this music may sound otherworldly; but to Surya Botofasina, who grew up on the ashram and is now Music Director of the Sai Anantam Ashram Singers, it sounds like home.

"This music has shaped me," Botofasina affirms, "in the sense that it's what my soul feels as home; and even physically, it's where I feel home."

As a child, Botofasina soaked up the music taught by Swamini, as he calls Alice Coltrane; his mother, Rada, can be heard singing in all the choral sections on the World Spirituality Classics recordings, and provided many of the archival photos documented in the Luaka Bop liner notes. And the mantras which vibrated through his childhood on the ashram have carried him into his adult life as a musician living in New York City.

"This music has helped me tremendously, when I was going through times that I didn't know how to navigate", Botofasina recalls. "As a young man growing up in the city, when I moved here in New York, or just trying to figure out different reasons and seasons, and why I feel certain ways. And this music helped me celebrate, and really be grateful for, the most precious moments in my life, like the birth of my children, or marrying my wife. This music was very much part of every single one of those days. So in that sense, this music has always been the soundtrack of my life."

Reminiscing about the music Coltrane conjured on the ashram, Botofasina notes that she was "very old school. There weren't handbooks or choir sheets; she would sing the note in front of someone, and then they would reproduce it back." In the Vedic chanting traditions, Coltrane would sing a call-and-response with her choir. "Everybody followed her. There was no better leader to follow," Botofasina enthuses. "It was truly like it was from a higher source."

The journey to the heart of the ashram recordings was a more circuitous one for Yale Evelev, the president of Luaka Bop Records who oversaw the World Spirituality Classics project. A jazz aficionado whose musicology runs deep, Evelev had been an Alice Coltrane fan since the 1970s, but had dismissed her devotional music. "I thought about Alice's ashram performances as something that wasn't going to be that interesting, you know?", Evelev remembers with a chuckle. "I didn't go that deeply into it, until I ran into a DJ friend on the street, and I asked him what he'd been listening to, and he said 'Well, to be frank, I just listen to Alice Coltrane tapes every day'. And I said I'd heard a little bit of them, but they didn't really affect me. And he said 'You really should listen to all of them'. And once I listened to everything, I was just blown away.

"I hadn't really realised what an inventive music it was, and how special it was. I wasn't really ready for it when I first heard it," Evelev reflects. "But at this time that the world is in right now, it just feels like this is the perfect time for this sort of music to be more available to people. We all need something super positive, you know? I think right now because of the state of the world, people are responding who might not have been quite so open to it before. It really just has an incredible power."

Botofasina sees the power of Coltrane's music as an expression of her spiritual commitment. "I think the power of the music comes from her absolute devotion to living in a higher state of consciousness," he states. "Just to connect with the divine, and to transmit that to all of us. The true power for me, in growing up with it, was just the sheer connection that one really felt to a divine higher power, and the positivity you could feel in that kind of space."

Chanting in a group, as heard on Coltrane's ashram tapes, can transform an individual's consciousness. "Everybody has different reasons for why they want to invoke something through chanting", Botofasina explains. "There's a term in Hinduism japa which means the repetition of the names, reciting a name to invoke some specific good. Like if somebody is repeating the name of Ganesh, the Hindu god depicted as an elephant, it is to remove an obstacle, usually an ego-based obstacle.

"We might be trying to work on various aspects of our self, or to express our pure devotion, or just our ability to feel like we have enough strength to get through the next day. Just like human life is a personal experience, so is the experience that one has when they truly invest themselves in chanting."

Botofasina sees something of this personal experience in Evelev's confession of how slow he'd been to appreciate Coltrane's devotional music. "I think Yale touched on something very interesting about chanting, in that it's a really personal experience", he reflects. "Something that's profound doesn't hit everybody at the same time with the same impact. You might feel it a week from then, a month from then... years from then. As Yale mentioned in his experience, maybe he wasn't ready for it in the 1980s or 1990s.

"But now here we are, close to 2020", Botofasina marvels, "and this music feels almost brand new, to our emotional landscape... and our political landscape. And I feel an incredible amount of dedication, of loyalty and more than anything, just gratitude, for being able to be so close to this music for so long."

'World Spirituality Classics 1: The Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda' is out now on Luaka Bop via Inertia. The Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda will be performed by the Sai Anantam Ashram Singers at Supersense Festival in Melbourne on August 19.
