Online University: The Jones International University Experience

Hala Monsour
Most of you have heard of Problem-Based learning when it comes to learning. Specific to the Adult Education realm, many believe that Problem-Based learning is a clear-cut approach to understand how one can address problems in the workplace. While this concept is not new to anyone, how often are you involved in the problem solving of situations in the workplace?

While many of you will raise your hand or nod in agreement that you do so on a regular basis, have you ever wondered how project-based learning plays a role in executing you day-to-day duties in the workplace; aside from solving problems. It is a given that problems occur, how about when it comes to doing your job; putting portfolios together, arranging for a meeting or presentation, speaking at a conference. By default of just gathering your input into a portfolio, you have a project on your hands.

Have you checked out some of the on-line universities such as Jones International University? They offer flexible project-based programs, to The Total Professional - what Jones International University calls each of their students. The course span varies depending on the degree program, but every course takes you on a journey full of discoveries about yourself, your potential, your abilities and capabilities, all while learning something new and relevant to your daily professional environment.

It is no wonder that JIU is known as The Gold Standard Online University. The faculties at Jones International University are the world's finest. With Professors from all over the world, the experience at JIU goes beyond what you need learn to obtain a degree.

As each of us would agree that going to school is to help us achieve our goals and dreams while juggling work and life, it is no wonder that the Project-Based Learning approach at Jones is so refreshing. Jones knows that problems exist in this world, but they also know that we do not need to be constantly reminded of these problems to move ahead.

Instead, you will find the quality of learning at JIU to be a self-enriching experience. Not only will you grow and develop professionally, you will emotionally and mentally; with a new outlook on life, and the way you approach problems.

Sure, not everything needs to be a problem or a project, but let us face it; Organization's do not just hire people for one specific skill or another - they want the best - YOU will find the best, at Jones, but remember, it starts with you and ends with you.

I took this challenge, and will soon graduate with a Masters in Education - Looking back; I deeply believe I made the best decision of my life. The challenges are very rewarding, the learning experience so far is outstanding, and the customer service is out of this world. I invite you to be a part of the JIU experience.
