McGraw University Enhances the Online Educational Experience

Many individuals have railed against online education, citing a lack of traditional resources that make it less valuable than classroom teaching. McGraw University eliminates these concerns through personalized resources that cater to student needs.

2012-08-16
NEW YORK, NY, August 16, 2012 (Press-News.org) The New York Times receives many letters to the editor each week. In an article that compiles these letters, the publication has spotlighted some of the most pressing concerns regarding the growing trend of distance learning. McGraw University, a prominent Internet-based educational resource, believes that its personalized approach has enhanced the online educational experience and, as a result, addressed many of the issues that today's public sees with the online learning model.

One of the letters in the article asserts that, without face-to-face instruction, students may lose their motivation: "I started the program with enthusiasm, but I soon felt alone and unsupported. I had no one to impress or disappoint. I struggled to stay motivated. It was impersonal and transactional, and it nearly destroyed my obsession [with math]. A face-to-face meeting in a classroom imposes accountability, inspires effort and promotes academic responsibility in subtle ways that we don't fully appreciate."

McGraw University believes that, through its innovative personalization of the online learning process, it has overcome many of these hurdles. By providing interaction with instructors and access to a flexible educational model, the online course offerings supplied by this educational facility can meet the needs of various students.

In a press statement, the school states: "McGraw University agrees that online education certainly does require students to apply strong management skills and maintain proper prioritization of their work; however, with the rise of globalization and an increasingly large number of students wanting to accumulate experience within the corporate sector, McGraw University ensures that its students are able to complete their education while also following through with other endeavors. The concept of online learning at McGraw University is to provide flexibility to working adults, allowing them to complete their education while pursuing professional success. In this regard, we employ the latest in cutting edge technology and various forms of education management software to assist our students in accessing the personalized educational resources they deserve. As such, the experience at our university is as traditional and customized as possible."

McGraw University hopes that students consider the many strides that have been made in online learning before discounting it. For working parents and other nontraditional pupils, Internet-based educational resources are a fantastic option.
