The Online Learning Experience

Transcript

You all are gonna love this next segment, meet Vernon Wiggins. There’s a saying around here, “Online since 89′”. University of Phoenix was one of the first universities to offer online degrees, and they’ve been innovating the asynchronous learning experience ever since. Students can attend classes around their schedules 24/7, 365 days a year. Vernon knows all about that, earning his degree all the way from Louisiana. Take it away, Vernon.

Thanks for that introduction, Alex. One of the reasons I chose University of Phoenix was because of its online learning platform. For me, it was a dream come true and a necessity. It meant I didn’t have to put my life or career on hold while I pursued my education. My life doesn’t look like most peoples. As a film producer, director, and actor, my schedule is as busy as it is creatively driven. Going to school was a priority for me, but I needed to do it on my terms. Before University of Phoenix, I didn’t think this was possible, but with online learning, I discovered I could earn a degree whenever and wherever I wanted. University of Phoenix provides a convenient online platform that is user-friendly and full of great information to help students succeed. It offers round the clock support and resources like the counseling skills center and the option to participate in a recognized student organization. These are just a few reasons why I never felt alone during my educational journey, and I love all the benefits that online education has to offer. In addition to flexibility, I’ve been able to network with other working professionals with my academic and career interests. Education may come in a different format at University of Phoenix, but it’s the same quality as you’ll find at a traditional university. I not only learned the business and communication skills I needed for my career in the entertainment business, but I also learned soft skills like communication, teamwork, and critical thinking. When I first started college, I never imagined I would learn as much as I have. I use this knowledge daily as a business owner and executive film producer. University of Phoenix changed my life by not only educating me in my chosen field, but also showing me that anything is possible. Thank you. Back to you, Alex.

Great job Vernon. University of Phoenix truly offers an experience where students have the freedom to learn when and where they want without the hassle of commuting to class or missing work or life events because of school. Plus, they can take classes on their schedule, not the other way around. Thanks for sharing.
