Online education is becoming a more popular way to get one’s degree today because it is more convenient to earn one’s degree from the comfort of his/her own home and at one’s own pace. The fast-paced lifestyle of today makes it more difficult for working adults, especially those with families, to take time out of their busy schedules and go to traditional classrooms on university campuses in order to obtain or upgrade their degrees.

However, online education is not the same as offline education in terms of how the classes are structured and how the material is taught.

There are many reasons why people fail online education:

1. The person is not used to working in an online classroom setting.

An online classroom is considerably different from a traditional classroom. There are rarely textbooks; most course material is presented online on web-pages, in downloadable reports, and in video and audio lectures.

In addition, you don’t sit in a traditional classroom with other people sitting next to you, behind you, or in front of you. Instead, they are on their computers at home or elsewhere, looking at the same course material you are, so you have no direct contact with them. You usually can “talk” to them via message boards or forums, making posts that anyone in the class can respond to, and vice versa.  Read more... (906 words, estimated 3:37 mins reading time)

In the second half of the 19th century (1879), psychology became a more organized experimental field of study when Wilhelm Wundt founded the first phychological research laboratory in Leipzig, Germany. Wundt and others of that time approached psychology with: “Every physical event has a mental counterpart, and every mental event has a physical counterpart.”

At this time, Ivan Pavlov also made important contributions to the science of psychology. Pavlov developed procedures associated with classical conditioning. One of his well known experiments was conditioning a dog to associate a bell ringing (stimulus) with food. The effect: after a few repetitions, the dog produced a physical response to the sound of the bell – he salivated. Pavlov referred to this learned relationship as a conditional reflex (now called Conditioned Response).
History of Psychology: Applied Psychology

In the 1890s, soon after the development of experimental psychology, various kinds of applied psychology began to appear as well:

* scientific pedagogy (science of teaching)
* educational theory
* application of psychology to industry, law, and other professions
* first psychological clinic
* first program of mental testing

One of the most well known psychiatrists, Sigmund Freud, developed an independent approach to the study of the mind called psychoanalysis, which has been widely influential.

Education is the foundation of our future. You’ve probably heard this before and brushed it off as another silly inspirational idiom. However, don’t be too quick to dismiss it. No matter who you are or what you do, there is no limit to knowledge. Because the world is constantly changing, we are in need of a constant refresher course in several different subjects. Training courses can provide us with the new technologies and advanced knowledge that our daily life and jobs demand of us.

Below we have listed some of the common questions surrounding training courses so you can find the best pathway to expanding your knowledge base.

Who pays for training courses? In most instances, you will pay for your training course. However, it is possible to ask your employer to help you with payment or to fully pay for the refresher course. Many companies will pay for certain employees to take part in yearly training courses as a way to ensure they are on top of their industry field. Accredited and online training courses vary in price depending on the level and time of the course. Some short courses are under $100 while 4 year bachelor programs will cost you thousands. Most companies are willing to help with shorter training and in house programs; however, if you want to obtain a new degree, you will most likely need to look elsewhere for the funds. There is financial aid available at the local, state and federal level for those who qualify.  Read more... (497 words, estimated 1:59 mins reading time)
