Session Description
Many online students have experienced bias against their online education. This bias comes from preconceived notions against online education, and lack of knowledge in this area by potential employers, preceptors, internship sites, and other students. Arming our online students with the knowledge that they need to defend themselves against such perceptions is a critical area. Students need to understand what these perceptions are and how they can assist others in getting past them, and to understand how valuable online education can be. Dealing with outdated ideologies is a first step for our students to prepare themselves with to leverage their quality educational experiences successfully in today’s job market.

This was a great session because there are so many inaccurate negative perceptions of online students and online education. He was prepared with statistics that indicate 90% of students surveyed feel that online education is equal or better than traditional campus programs. He suggested arming students with information to deal with the negative comments that are sometimes made. This was a very positive session!
