Glenview, Illinois (PRWEB) July 31, 2008

Abt Electronics now offers new online payment options to make shopping online for electronics easier with Abt financing, PayPal and delayed billing options.

Abt financing allows customers to purchase products on Abt.com or in the Glenview, Illinois store using an Abt Card offered by GE bank. Customers do not have to pay an annual fee for the card and have eight different financing options available to choose from. Abt financing will enable customers to manage accounts online, as well as benefit from savings opportunities.

Also new to Abt Electronics is the addition of PayPal online payment services. With PayPal, Abt customers can shop online, and pay directly from their checking account or their credit card with complete security. Since account information is stored in PayPal, checkout is quick and easy.

The most essential is a dorm fridge to store everyday necessities and cafeteria leftovers. Abt offers a wide selection of dorm fridges to fit even the "coziest" of dorm rooms.

Laptops

More schools are turning to digital and on-the-go technologies to teach students in and out of the classroom. Laptops can be an amazing tool for students who need to use computers in the classroom or participate in off-site study groups.

Faculty Training Is An Investment for Online Programs; ADA Compliance a Major Vulnerability

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) November 12, 2010

Fully half (51 percent) of the 183 two-and four-year colleges and universities participating in the 2010 Managing Online Education (MOE) Survey, sponsored by the WICHE Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications (WCET) and The Campus Computing Project report that faculty who teach in online programs must complete a mandatory training. The mandatory training, which averages 22 hours, reflects a significant investment of institutional resources and also a significant comment of time from faculty who want to teach online courses.

The survey data highlight a key difference between on-campus and online courses, says Kenneth C. Green, founding director of The Campus Computing Project, the organization that conducted with survey with WCET. In contrast to their peers in traditional classrooms, both part-time and full-time faculty who teach online courses often must complete significant, specialized training.

Wagner continues, The all-too-common and unfortunate practice of hiring part-timers and handing them a syllabus, textbook, campus map, and parking pass will not suffice for faculty who teach online courses.

Even as institutions commit to faculty training, the 2010 MOE survey data reveal significant faculty resistance to online education. Almost three-fourths (73 pct.) of the survey participants agree or strongly agree that faculty resistance to teaching online courses impedes institutional efforts to expand online education programs. Three-fifths (61 percent) also cite the lack of key resources (training instructors support personnel) as a factor affecting program expansion, while just over half (56 percent) acknowledge that institutional budget cuts also impede program development and growth. In contrast, external factors apparently pose comparatively few challenges to program expansion: just 16 percent cite accrediting issues or agencies, 17 percent cite state regulations, 22 percent cite federal student aid regulations, and just over a fourth (26 percent) identify union agreements as factors that impede the expansion of online education at their institutions. Also of note is that just 13 percent of the survey participants report that employer resistance to hiring students who have completed online certificates or degrees inhibits program expansion.

The survey data document the continuing growth in online education. Almost all (91 percent) report that that online enrollment has increased over the past three years (2007-2010), and over half (52 percent) report that online enrollments increased by 16 percent or more during this period; 27 percent report online enrollment was up by more than 20 percent. Looking forward, the survey respondents are bullish about future growth: 96 percent expect online enrollments at their campus to increase over the next three academic years (2011-2013): 30 percent expect online enrollment to grow from 16-20 percent, while 13 percent expect online enrollment gains over 20 percent over the between 2011 and 2013.

Confirming data that first emerged from the 2009 MOE survey, the 2010 data reveal that many campuses do not have formal policies and procedures to assure that their online courses and programs are compliant with ADA mandates. Fully a third (34 percent) of the campuses report that ADA compliance for online courses and programs resides with the individual faculty who teach an online course, while almost a fourth (24 percent) report that ADA compliance responsibility resides with academic programs or departments. In contrast, almost a fifth (17 percent) report no institutional policy or procedure for ADA compliance and almost a tenth (9 percent) report that a central campus office examines a sample of online courses to ADA assure ADA compliance. One in six of the survey respondents (16 percent) indicate that their institution has a central office that examines each course for ADA compliance.

The 2010 Managing Online Education Survey is a collaborative initiative of the WICHE Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications (WCET) and The Campus Computing Project. The survey data are based on the responses from campus officials at 183 two- and four-year public and private US colleges and universities who were surveyed in October and early November 2010. Survey respondents were typically the senior campus official responsible for the management of online and distance education programs at their institutions. Copies of the survey report will be available from The Campus Computing Project (campuscomputing.net) on December 10th.
