Egg nog season is around the corner, but right now it's time for your “Top 5 Posts of the Week”
for November 9th!
1. What's more important to an online student: screen size or financial aid?
If you guessed screen size then maybe you need to layoff the egg nog buddy 
. In
any case the Financial Aid Answers blog has a gem in its
Federal Student Aid Conference Update post. The post covers the latest
happenings in the world of Federal Aid. Good stuff..
2. Ever feel like Online learning keeps getting a bum rap? Cajun examines
this phenomena in
a recent post that's "rattles the cage" of a big schools marketing strategy.
3. tcord1964 at the My Penn Foster College Experience
discusses some common frustrations with distance learning in
his
All I Want To Do Is Take My
Exams post.
4. One of the best ways to motivate yourself to stay in a online course
is to feel that you’re a part of a learning community and that there is someone
to turn to. The place where this all happens is the crucial discussion forum and
Dr. Susan Smith Nash is wonderful guide through this area. Don't believe me?
Check out her recent post on
The Best Possible Discussion Board Experience.
5. Continuing with the discussion forum theme is Cajun over at the My Ashford University
Experience blog.
His post is a must read before your first post in any forum.
That’s all for this week! Have a great weekend!!
