		<title>Winter Break: A Time For Online Classes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For college students Thanksgiving means that it is almost the end of the semester, finals are just days away, and winter break is so close you can taste it. Winter break is a time that every college student looks forward to because it is a month without dorm rooms, 3:00am fire alarms, and mystery meals in the cafeteria. But after the holidays race past you’re left with a lot of idle time.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to have a little bit of time away from campus with a comfy bed and home-cooked meals, but let’s face it; winter break can be kind of boring.

		<title>Five Words that Do Not Mean Accredited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A regional accreditation is the most coveted accreditation any online schools can receive, the same for a ground university for that matter, but many online schools try to trick you with the terminology they use to make their institution sound more reputable.

		<title>Online Students Are Not Real Students</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For anyone bold enough to make the claim that online students are, "not real students" I submit they are either ignorant, uninformed, or a combination of the two.  The fact is many hiring managers value online students more than those who procured a degree in a traditional setting.]]></description>

		<title>Online Education – It Is Good For The Environment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These days everyone’s favorite color seems to be green. I do not mean that people are running to the Home Depot to paint their houses green or that the Gap has run out of green sweaters. Green has become synonymous with what is good for the environment. More than ever people are concerned with how environmentally friendly their cars, cleaning products and washing machines are, but do you think that anyone has ever wondered if they are getting a green education?]]></description>
