Communication Science
Posted in Education by anshbookstore on March 30, 2023 @ 7:04 am

Non Verbal communication is more crucial to your success than ever – master it…or be mastered by it!

Research has shown that people with a better understanding of body language are more successful at selling, leading, and getting what they want from any situation. They are more likely to convince people to trust them, and more likely to be perceived as “charismatic” by others.

Why is Non Verbal communication such a tremendous factor to success – and why should you devote extra minutes in your week to mastering it? Here are three solid reasons why:

1. People lie, but their unconscious actions do not

Sigmund Freud, an early believer in the utility of body language, believed, as do many researchers, that although we cannot rely on the truth of words, nonverbal behavior often does project truth. Through body gestures and postures, people express their conscious and subconscious emotions, desires, and attitudes. Body language, therefore, gives us a window into someone’s real intentions, whether they are honest or not.

Intuitively, we can often tell just by looking at someone when they are lying, scared, angry, happy, confident, or upset – but we often encounter people we simply can’t get a “read” on. A mastery of Non Verbal language will give you specific tools to help you identify what gestures, movements, or body parts to focus on when you are evaluating the honesty and credibility of another person. With this same knowledge, you’ll also know how to use these gestures to communicate honesty, credibility, and trust to the people you are dealing with.

2. Better communication; better relationships

Did you know that unless we understand nonverbal body language, we are losing as much as 50% of the message that is being communicated? By increasing your awareness of Non verbal communication, you can read the emotions and attitudes of others you interact with at home and at work. As a result, you will have a greater awareness of all your interpersonal interactions. This increased rapport with, and understanding of, others leads to increased trust and productivity.

The study of Non verbal communication can also help improve others’ understanding of you. The better you are able to transmit messages so that others receive them as they were intended, the more effective you will be. Therefore, be acutely aware of the nonverbal messages you are projecting. You can increase tension and decrease trust simply by projecting negative body movements or by lacking sensitivity in observing the nonverbal communication of others. The “bad vibes” that result can be disastrous to present and future relationships.

3. The language can be mastered

The ability to understand body language is not related to IQ, the ability to take tests, or the grades one makes in school. Studies show that practice makes perfect. People tested for body language comprehension generally score higher on second and subsequent tests than on their first tries.

Here is perhaps the best reason of all for increasing your understanding of Non verbal communication, starting today: You have no excuse not to. Start simply and commit one hour a week to reading about body language and/or analyzing the body language you and others bring to every encounter. In a few months, I guarantee you’ll be consciously shaping your body language to produce the best results!

Pros And Cons Of Online Education For The World Citizen
Posted in Education by anshbookstore on March 21, 2023 @ 7:01 am

More and more young people are choosing non-traditional education to start and advance in their careers while completing and furthering their formal education. “Typical distance learners are those who don’t have access to programs, employees who work during scheduled class hours, homebound individuals, self-motivated individuals who want to take courses for self-knowledge or advancement, or those who are unable or unwilling to attend class” (Charp, 2000, p. 10). Three key elements surround the online learner: technology, curriculum, and instructor (Bedore, Bedore, & Bedore, 1997). These elements must be keenly integrated into one smoothly and operationally functional delivery tool.

While an online method of education can be a highly effective alternative medium of education for the mature, self-disciplined student, it is an inappropriate learning environment for more dependent learners. Online asynchronous education gives students control over their learning experience, and allows for flexibility of study schedules for non traditional students; however, this places a greater responsibility on the student. In order to successfully participate in an online program, student must be well organized, self-motivated, and possess a high degree of time management skills in order to keep up with the pace of the course. For these reasons, online education or e-learning is not appropriate for younger students (i.e. elementary or secondary school age), and other students who are dependent learners and have difficulty
assuming responsibilities required by the online paradigm.

Millions of students use e-learning solutions in over 140 countries: corporations such as Kodak and Toyota and education providers like ExecuTrain, New Horizons, the Enoch Olinga College (ENOCIS), Phoenix University amongst the hundreds of schools and colleges.

Studies have shown student retention to be up to 250% better with online learning than with classroom courses. Several recent ones have helped frame the debate. The Sloan Consortium published a widely distributed report titled “Growing by Degrees: Online Education in the United States in 2005” that examined the growing prevalence of online education across U.S. institutions.

In addition, a study conducted by the Boston-based consulting firm Eduventures found that, while about half of institutions and more than 60 percent of employers generally accept the high quality of online learning, students’ perceptions differ. Only about 33 percent of prospective online students said that they perceive the quality of online education to be “as good as or better than” face-to-face education. Ironically, 36 percent of prospective students surveyed cited concern about employers’ acceptance of online education as a reason for their reluctance to enroll in online courses.

But what actually drives quality? A March 2006 report released by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education identifies six quality indicators: mission, curriculum and instruction, faculty support, student and academic services, planning for sustainability and growth, and evaluation and assessment.

The debate rages on while the Pros and Cons of Online Adult Education for today’s international students are constantly analyzed to determine if this type of education platform can deliver predictable and measurable results.

The Enoch Olinga College (ENOCIS) is one institution which uses this type of delivery system. ENOCIS enhances their learning experience by offering many other “value added”, cost reducing benefits to students. Online pupils can apply for scholarships available to students of excellence and other financial aid programs like the Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS), with attractive interest rates. They also provide convenient payment facilities, on line banking, Western Union Quick Collect, bank cards and a student who is granted a loan can start repaying it after two months if they have a corporate guarantor.

Pros of Online Education:

The key advantages of the online education experience are briefly explained below:

1. Cheaper: Online courses may be more affordable than those offered at colleges or trade schools. You may also save on transportation costs like gas, bus passes, and parking permits because you don’t need to commute to school and there are no housing or meals plans to worry about since you do not need to live on or near a college campus. Housing expenses and other costs associated with living expenses are usually the most expensive aspects of a college education, so by taking an online course you could save quite a bit of money.

The best part of online education is the absence of travel and immigration problems. Some students may prefer not to pursue traditional on campus education, as it involves traveling to attend lectures. With online education, an applicant does not need to travel. Courses simply require accessing the internet in order to begin the learning process.

2. More Convenient: By taking courses online, you’re able to decide when you study and for how long. You are also able to schedule your studying around your work or social schedule.

Since you’re not bound to a classroom, you may do your work wherever you have access to a computer and the internet. You’ll be able to set your own pace and decide exactly how fast you want to go over the material.

Take online courses when you need them, not based on some college’s annual or semester schedule. You can learn when you need it (Just-In-Time) A course is as close as a computer with an Internet connection.

3. Flexibility: with no set class times, you decide when to complete your assignments and readings. You set the pace. In some programs, you can even design your own degree plan. The online students can carry out their private or official work, along with the online education. As it provides the convenience of time flexibility, a student can login and logout as per his desire whereas, the traditional education do not provide such flexibility in learning.

Flexibility of online education allows the student control over their studies. They can allot more time in the topics, which they feel comparatively hard and vice versa. The speed of learning depends solely upon the students.

4. Technology: With the help of the scientific technology, students can do their online education at any place. The only mandatory pre-requisite is the availability of computer along with an internet amenity. Side benefits include the learning new technologies and technical skills

5. Availability: distance-learning opportunities have exploded over the past few years, with many accredited and reputable programs.

6. Accessibility: with an online course, you can work on the course just about anywhere you have computer access. Your learning options are not constrained by your geographic location. The new virtual classrooms have created a myriad of learning opportunities for global learning and education center. On line education is a new era experience adapting to the needs of the world citizen.

7. Self-Directed: you set your own pace and schedule, so you control the learning environment.

8. Time Spent in Classroom: now you can take a course on just about any subject without ever having to be in, or travel to, a classroom so you have very little wasted time. Note, however, that some distance-education programs still do have an in-class component and normally to receive a fully accredited US university degree an international student must spend one or two semesters on campus.

9. High Quality Dialog: Within an online asynchronous discussion structure, the learner is able to carefully reflect on each comment from others before responding or moving on to the next item. This structure allows students time to articulate responses with much more depth and forethought than in a traditional face-to-face discussion situation where the participant must analyze the comment of another on the spot and formulate a response or otherwise loose the chance to contribute to the discussion.

10. Student Centered: Within an online discussion, the individual student responds to the course material (lectures and course books, for example) and to comments from other students. Students usually respond to those topics within the broader conversation that most clearly speak to their individual concerns and situations resulting in several smaller conversations taking place simultaneously within the group. While students are expected to read all of their classmates’ contributions, they will become actively engaged only in those parts of the dialog most relevant to their needs. In this way, students take control of their own learning experience and tailor the class discussions to meet their own specific needs. Ideally, students make their own individual contributions to the course while at the same time take away a unique mix of information directly relevant to their needs.

11. Level Playing Field: In the online environment learners retain a considerable level of anonymity. Discriminating factors such as age, dress, physical appearance, disabilities, race and gender are largely absent. Instead, the focus of attention is clearly on the content of the discussion and the individual’s ability to respond and contribute thoughtfully and intelligently to the material at hand.

On line adult education can be more effective and better for certain types of learners (shy, introverted, reflective, language challenged, those that need more time). Distance education courses are often better for people who learn through visual cues and experiential exercises.

12. Synergy: The online format allows for a high level of dynamic interaction between the instructor and students and among the students themselves. Resources and ideas are shared, and continuous synergy will be generated through the learning process as each individual contributes to the course discussions and comments on the work of others. The synergy that exists in the student-centred virtual classroom is one of the unique and vital traits that the online learning format posses..

13. Access to Resources: It is easy to include distinguished guest experts or students from other institutions in an online class as well as allow students to access resources and information anywhere in the world. An instructor can compile a resource section online with links to scholarly articles, institutions, and other materials relevant to the course topic for students to access for research, extension, or in depth analysis of course content material in the global classroom.

14. Creative Teaching: The literature of adult education supports the use of interactive learning environments as contributing to self-direction and critical thinking. Some educators have made great strides in applying these concepts to their on ground teaching. However, many classes still exist which are based on boring lectures and rote memorization of material. The nature of the semi-autonomous and self-directed world of the virtual classroom makes innovative and creative approaches to instruction even more important. In the online environment, the facilitator and student collaborate to create a dynamic learning experience. The occasion of a shift in technology creates the hope that those who move into the new technology will also leave behind bad habits as they adopt this new paradigm of teaching. As educators redesign their course materials to fit the online format, they must reflect on their course objectives and teaching style and find that many of the qualities that make a successful online facilitator are also tremendously effective in the traditional classroom as well.

Cons of Online Education:

Briefly explained are some factors that could negatively affect your success with distance learning courses:

1. The Technology:

a. Equity and Accessibility to Technology: Before any online program can hope to succeed, it must have students who are able to access the online learning environment. Lack of access, whether it be for economical or logistics reasons, will exclude otherwise eligible students from the course. This is a significant issue in rural and lower socioeconomic neighborhoods and educating the underserved peoples of the world. Furthermore, speaking from an administrative point of view, if students cannot afford the technology the institution employs, they are lost as customers. As far as Internet accessibility is concerned, it is not universal, and in some areas of the United States and other countries, Internet access poses a significant cost to the user. Some users pay a fixed monthly rate for their Internet connection, while others are charged for the time they spend online. If the participants’ time online is limited by the amount of Internet access they can afford, then instruction and participation in the online program will not be equitable for all students in the course. This is a limitation of online programs that rely on Internet access. Equity of access to learners of all backgrounds and parts of society

b. Requires New Skills/Technologies: if you’re not computer-savvy or are afraid of change or new technologies, then online education will probably not work for you. The online students are required to learn new skills, such as researching and reviewing the internet. For the online students, they need to learn the techniques of navigation on an online library for necessary information. Technical training and support of learners and instructors

c. Computer Literacy: Both students and facilitators must possess a minimum level of computer knowledge in order to function successfully in an online environment. For example, they must be able to use a variety of search engines and be comfortable navigating on the World Wide Web, as well as be familiar with Newsgroups, FTP procedures and email. If they do not possess these technology tools, they will not succeed in an online program; a student or faculty member who cannot function on the system will drag the entire program down.

d. Limitations of Technology: User friendly and reliable technology is critical to a successful online program. However, even the most sophisticated technology is not 100% reliable. Unfortunately, it is not a question of if the equipment used in an online program will fail, but when. When everything is running smoothly, technology is intended to be low profile and is used as a tool in the learning process. However, breakdowns can occur at any point along the system, for example, the server which hosts the program could crash and cut all participants off from the class; a participant may access the class through a networked computer which could go down; individual PCs can have numerous problems which could limit students’ access; finally, the Internet connection could fail, or the institution hosting the connection could become bogged down with users and either slow down, or fail all together. In situations like these, the technology is neither seamless nor reliable and it can detract from the learning experience.

2. The Institution: Many online education facilities are relatively new with many courses and hence, lack in modern instructors for instructing the new curriculum. Estimates show that there is still a need for an increase of more 50% of qualified instructors for online education.

b. The Administration and Faculty: Some environments are disruptive to the successful implementation of an online program. Administrators and/or faculty members who are uncomfortable with change and working with technology or feel that online programs cannot offer quality education often inhibit the process of implementation. These people represent a considerable weakness in an online program because they can hinder its success.

3. The Facilitator :Lack of Essential Online Qualities: Successful on-ground instruction does not always translate to successful online instruction. If facilitators are not properly trained in online delivery and methodologies, the success of the online program will be compromised. An instructor must be able to communicate well in writing and in the language in which the course is offered. An online program will be weakened if its facilitators are not adequately prepared to function in the virtual classroom.

4. Perceptions/Reputation: while slowly changing as more and more mainstream colleges and universities embrace distance learning, there still is a stigma attached to distance education to the student’s interaction in the online education. Some of the students believe that, there are few opportunities with regards to face-to-face interactions and feedbacks.

5. No Instructor Face Time: If your learning style is one where you like personalized attention from your teachers, then online education will probably not work for you.

6. Little Support: students are expected to find their own resources for completing assignments and exams, which is empowering for some, but daunting for others.

There is little support and limited guidelines provided in online education system. Online students are required to search as per their own imaginations for completing exams and assignments.

7. Lacking Social Interaction: while you often interact with classmates via email, chat rooms, or discussion groups, there are no parties or off line get-togethers.
If you enjoy meeting new people and learn better while you’re interacting with other people, you may want to reconsider online education.

8. No Campus Atmosphere: part of the traditional college experience, of course, is the beauty of the campus, the college spirit, but you have none of that with distance-education courses.

Since you’re not on campus or in classes, you may lack opportunities to meet other students. You will not have many opportunities to interact face-to-face with your professors, so they may not have a real sense of who you are as a person.

9. Making Time: if you are a procrastinator or one of those people who always needs an extra push to complete work, you may have a hard time making time for your online classes. On line learning requires new skills and responsibilities from learners

10. Academic honesty of online students: requires a new mindset to online assessment. Most education experts agree that rote memory testing is not the best measure of learning in any environment and new measurement and evaluation tools are evolving.

11. Types and effectiveness of assessments: The importance of outcomes in online learning cannot be over emphasized. Does the program have measurable results? Are students learning what you say they should be learning? Then there are institutional outputs: course completion rates, job placement rates (if that’s the goal of the institution), graduation rates, student success on third-party tests, and student satisfaction scores.

These factors, both the pros and cons, contribute greatly to making an informed decision about the direction of your career path and how you are going to accomplish your goals: on line, in the classroom or a combination of both.

Institutions and companies that use continuing education to meet their needs also face similar decisions. Institutions that deliver online education are confronted with a series of challenges, including the search for good faculty, use of technology, and provision of adequate student services.

The Sloan Consortium report “Growing by Degrees: Online Education in the United States in 2005” found that 64 percent of chief academic officers and faculty believe that it takes more discipline for a student to succeed in an online course than it does in a face-to-face course.

More and more major business and industry is turning to on line continuing education as a viable and cost effective resource for training its personnel. Hilton Hotel has 380 hotels worldwide and is represented in 66 countries.

When you weigh the benefits and advantages of on line adult continuing education the cost of study and flexibility of scheduling tip the scales of programs like the Enoch Olinga College, Capella and Phoenix University’s distance learning program on line adult continuing education is becoming a world wide respected form of education.

However, as with any situation, there are both pros and cons with the concept of online education and the benefits of the virtual or global classroom. You may want to evaluate both before you decide on an online education program. By examining the advantages and disadvantages, you will be able to make a more informed decision. But, at the end of the day, online learning is independent learning. A lot of structure has been put into online programs, but it still comes down to a learner sitting in front of a computer by him or herself. The knowledge you receive or the benefits it will generate either in development of self esteem or increasing earning capacity will depend sole upon you the student.

Tips for Earning Medical Scholarships
Posted in Education by anshbookstore on March 18, 2023 @ 7:00 am

The healthcare industry is booming. From nursing assistants to occupational therapists to doctors and emergency responders, there is a shortage of healthcare professionals. More and more students are answering the call to go to school for training and degrees in the medical field. One way that students can pay for this education is through medical scholarships. The field is competitive. For students trying to find a way to get ahead, here are some tips to consider when filling out applications for college scholarships.

Grades
Medical school, nursing programs and emergency medical technician training requires an affinity for science and an understanding of biology, chemistry and anatomy. While these things are all learned in specialized schooling, aspiring students should have strong grades in math and science. Health class is another factor where a student can excel and impress scholarship committees.

Test Scores
Most colleges and universities have a minimum level for college board test scores. While the mathematics and science portions should be high, the reading and verbal are also important. Those who can’t communicate well with others may be challenged when assessing a patient’s needs or communicating treatment to fellow medical team members.

Background
Students with an interest in the medical field need to start building their resume early. Membership to the Red Cross club in high school, volunteering at the local hospital and taking elective classes geared toward health and science are helpful. Showing an interest in that career path can’t start too early. Grace under pressure and the ability to think on their feet are important qualities for would-be scholarship recipients.

Applications
One of the biggest mistakes that students make when applying for medical scholarships is that they fail to follow directions. Students not following the guidelines will be eclipsed by their competitors who do. Carefully read the questions and answers. Answer them carefully and fully. Don’t leave anything blank. When it comes to the essay, potential scholarship winners are those who express themselves clearly and honestly. Spelling and grammar do count. Guidelines for the number of words and subject matter are equally important. The most critical element to being in the running for an award is to meet the application deadline. Anything received late will not be considered. Most committees will not even look at a late application, viewing it as a sign of disorganization or lack of interest.

When applying for medical scholarships, students should take the time to fill them out fully and carefully. They should also apply for any and all grants and financial awards where they meet the basic requirements. It is possible to earn financial assistance from more than one source. It is also possible that none of them will come through. Planning ahead and providing all necessary information will help those interested in a healthcare career to earn the interest and awards from a college scholarship committee.

Lifeguarding Is Stressful – Use These Tips to Deal With It
Posted in Education by anshbookstore on March 15, 2023 @ 6:59 am

Sitting amongst hundreds of patrons, the lifeguard chair can be a lonely place. The rigors of the job require you to sit for long periods of time and stay focused, all while ensuring the safety of the guests you are watching. Not only do you embrace a great deal of responsibility, but you could be feeling the pressure of the responsibility as well. It is common to tell someone in your situation to “not to let the pressure get to you,” but when you are dealing with life and death situations, it is normal to have some stress. The best thing you can do is learn how to deal with your stress. Follow these tips to reduce your stress and be more confident on the lifeguard chair.

  • Talk to Your Supervisor: One of the many tasks of your supervisor is to ensure her employees are functioning at the highest level possible. Any time you are not feeling confident about your job, you need to tell your supervisor. Not only is it in their best interest to help you find a way to deal with your stress, but chances are they have been in the same situation. Often times, it is the outstanding lifeguards that are elevated to the position of supervisor. Supervisors have demonstrated to management that they are excellent leaders and have excelled at being a lifeguard. That is why your supervisor is the best source for advice on how to deal with the pressure you are feeling.

  • Eat a Balanced Diet and Stay Hydrated: While eating a balanced diet and drinking enough water won’t automatically eliminate stress from your job, it can prevent you from placing more stress on yourself. How so? Well, a common coping technique for dealing with stress is overeating and when your body is feeling stressed it usually craves junk food that is not good for your body. While these foods may make you feel better in the short term, they will take their toll on your body over time in the form of weight gain, immune system issues, and imbalances in your blood sugar. One way to prevent these issues is to practice a balanced diet and keep yourself hydrated.

  • Magnify Your Stressor: The human mind is an amazing thing. It allows you to do push your body beyond any limits that you set for yourself. It can also be your biggest inhibitor. Letting negative thoughts creep in your mind will lower your confidence and make you cautious on the lifeguard stand. The next time you doubt your abilities, try to magnify that doubt. Magnifying your doubt involves exaggerating your fear and proving to yourself that your fear is silly

    Not sure what we mean? Talk yourself through your doubts like this: “What if I see a man struggling in the pool and calling for help. Then I jump in the water to save him, but my entrance is very sloppy. I reach the man and am able to pull him to safety, but not before a little struggle when swimming with him to safety. When my manager witnesses this he decides to fire me for my flawed entrance and struggle when saving the man. Eventually, my name gets around to all the aquatics facilities in the world and I am never able to get another lifeguard job. Being kicked out of the lifeguard circle, I have no way of paying for college and am destined to develop a large gut and live in my parent’s basement forever.” Using this example, you can see that your doubts are most likely flawed. Rather than fire you for using sloppy technique, you supervisor will most likely praise you for saving a life. Use this technique to quell any doubts or fears of the job.

  • Practice: If you are new to lifeguarding, it will likely take you some time to develop comfort in the lifeguard chair. The comfort is developed as you gain more experience and practice your skills. While you won’t be able to time travel to a later date where you have more experience, you can control how much you practice the skills you doubt the most. It is extra practice that you will help you develop confidence to perform these skills in a moment’s notice in an emergency situation. Set a goal for yourself to practice the skill you doubt the most for an extra 15 minutes each day. As you develop more comfort with that skill, move on to the next skill you have the most doubt about.

Dealing with life and death situations among the many distractions makes lifeguarding a very difficult job. Not only do you need to keep in peak physical condition, you also need to train your mind to be in top mental shape as well. Stress is likely to be a major component of the mental side of the job. Whenever you encounter stress, make sure to use these tips to deal with it.

Time Management For Students – 8 Tips To Control Your Time Better
Posted in Education by anshbookstore on March 12, 2023 @ 6:57 am

In the case of students, manging time is a very crucial aspect of this phase in their lives. This would give them proper ideas and steps on how to utilise their time properly. Apart from this, effective management of time can also help in estimating the amount of time it would take to perform an activity. This could help in preparing themselves for the later stages of their lives when schedules become more hectic.

By large, a student must have a very precise evaluation of his time. On doing this, the individual will be able to keep an eye on his activities. Enough time for preparation for all his activities is very crucial indeed.

Not having sufficient time to get things done in the day has become a major problem of students. Apart from this, many students are being late for their classes.

Following are a few tips for students to take control of time and also to organize things.

1. It is very much necessary for an individual to prepare a “to do” list every single day. Putting goals, responsibilities and tasks in written format is really important. The activities should be ranked from those of highest priority to the lowest priority. Hence, the activity that needs to be performed properly is given top priority.

2. Spare time of the individual should be used wisely. Every second is very vital. A minute once lost, is lost forever. A single minute should never be wasted by doing unproductive activities. Like for example, some reading can be done while one is travelling in the bus. One can also try to revise notes while he is on a recess or a break. Free time should be used always, like for example, if a project is not due yet, one can utilise the free time and complete it well in advance.

3. Do not fear to say the word no. Saying no sometimes is very important. For example, if a friend asks you to watch a programme on a schooling night. This could be one’ s study time. The programme could get extended to the early hours of the morning, one will feel sleepy and unfit for the next working day. Making right decisions is very important. Keeping the priorities is crucial. Things should be done at the right place and at the right time.

4. One must find apt timings for both studies and work.Students will be able to perform well in their studies excellently if the allotment of work time is well planned. Like for instance, if one loves to do science early in the morning rather than the afternoon, he should do it then.

5. Taking a good sleep in the night is very important. This deficiency may make the day seem longer than it is. Taking short rest periods could also lead to extra and unnecessary stress making tasks more difficult. On the other hand, with sufficient sleep, one can carry out the day to day activities with a fresh mind and also at a fast rate.

6. One should be a good “task holder master”. Figuring out the amount of free time a week has is very important. Good planning and management can help in settling activities that tend to consume a lot of time.

7. One should not waste time by worrying about things that did not work out well. Peace of mind and relaxation is necessary. Time is spent in worrying and as a result nothing is done. Instead of this, finding a solution is wiser. Procrastination is the thief of time.

8. Outlook maintenance in a positive perspective is needed. The goal must be sensible. Having unrealistic view of goals is going to lead to failures.

The above tips could help one organize his schedule. This could lead to stress free work and less worries.
