(BPT) - Many working adults begin
using technology from the moment their
alarm clocks go off. From checking emails
on a tablet over morning coffee, to
sending out social media posts from a
smartphone before they get into the office,
technology allows people to be efficient
and stay connected anytime, anyplace.
This same technology is now playing an
important role for individuals seeking alternative learning environments to continue their educations or grow their careers.
According to a national survey from
University of Phoenix, 87 percent of working adults say there are benefits to online
learning. Another survey reveals that 54
percent indicate they'll go back to school
in the future and 48 percent are interested
in taking an online class. So it is no surprise that universities are adjusting their
online classroom offerings to cater to the
technology working adults are currently
using.
Today's technology makes education more
personalized, more social and more accessible than ever before. This creates a more
balanced and better learning experience
for busy working learners.
"At University of Phoenix, technology is
