Week 13: Distant Education

This week we learned about distance education and virtual learning. An example that was used class was the website: http://www.geteducated.com/
This website showed that ANYONE can get their education online, EVEN A DOG! It also showed how easy it was for people to get their education online.
We also debated (somewhat) whether it was fair or not to get an education online. Now-a-days so any people dont have to actually attend school anymore, they can just sit at their computer and learn. But for some, dishonest people, they use other people to do their work but their getting the degree. So, this isnt as useful as some may think because it questions if the people in the workforce now-a-days, that got their degree online, if they really earned it themself and if they really know what they're doing.

Here is a spoof of an online education commercial.


How this relates to PR:
This relates to PR because some people in PR could have gotten their degrees online. IF that is the case, they might not have the appropriate or experienced levels of writing and public speaking that they may need.
