College distance learning worth it?


Having a college degree today guarantees you a huge advantage in time to get a cog in a successful career in business. But we can not always do undergraduate classroom, for lack of time or being away from a college with a course I want to do. With the web has solved this problem with the systems of distance learning course.


One such system that has worked is the Connexions, Professor Richard Baraniuk at Rice University in the USA, who explained how it works in a TED Talk from 2006.

What Richard proposes, basically, is that if done right, distance education can have as much quality as the classroom. And this is the proposal of UniSEB.

UniSEB The structure has a videoconference call Telesales for classes, which are taught by a teacher and is assisted by the students once a week in support poles throughout Brazil and accompanied by a guardian. They can also interact among themselves and to ask direct questions to the teacher, who responds to any room.


But the lessons that serve to complement the self-study, which the student is through the web system of faculty and materials. These materials, moreover, can also be accessed directly from the tablet that delivers the power gradually to each of their students.

Among the courses offered are IT Management, Education, Social Services and Technology to Business Management. The monthly courses are also into account: starting at $ 199.00. And UniSEB also offers postgraduate courses or extension, for those who have completed higher education and intend to specialize.

Are you interested? It's good to prepare for the exam: it happens in the next 19 days.
