A demand for openness ...

This issue can be and has been tackled by economics – specifically; we can use the tools offered by the study of price elasticity of demand to see what colleges take into consideration before raising their prices.

If the students believe that higher education’s high costs will not create a value equal to or less than its cost, they might prefer ...

Despite the fact that the research results collected by Nielsen may be somewhat useful, they should not be trusted for any serious marketing initiative as they have serious factual flaws. Specifically, the manager of Nielsen mentioned that the participants of the project scanned all products they bought, and the research company automatically receives the data about their buying habits, allowable income and other characteristics, which may be useful in crafting effective marketing strategies (UNLV Online Education, 2014). The service advertised by them appears to be especially attractive because of global economic uncertainty. In particular, the companies from different industries ...

I. INTRODUCTION Choosing a University can be a daunting task. For me, it was all the more difficult, because of my commitment to active duty in the Army. After perusing the programs at several different institutions, I happened to come across Excelsior – quite by chance. Of course, the term struck a chord right away. I knew that the word itself meant “excellence”, and Excelsior College has already lived up to its namesake. To begin with, I needed a college that was flexible, and one that was strictly online. Bingo. Excelsior not only accommodates students with real world responsibilities, but ...

Upon reading fellow student, Amanda’s reflection, I think that it really is a bit odd for American business executives to be the ones who were in charge of creating school reform. School is a business in some aspects, but with public schools as a sector of state government, it is not really up to business executives to determine what an ideal school should look like. Traditional educators should have been the ones to formulate these decisions. I am in agreement that the government creates policies which control education and that they really do not know what goes on ...

But, in my opinion, we can’t say, that the online education is 100% better than old traditional. There are some pros, of course, but also a number of cons. ...
