AIU Online Hosts Special Visit from Congressman Phil Crane to Demonstrate the Fast-Moving World of Online Higher Education
-- How does online learning work? Get a front seat look at today's interactive virtual classroom and gain a feel for the online student life where you can study anytime, anyplace and at any pace.
-- Online student services: From financial aid to the bookstore, AIU Online supports thousands of students in all aspects of their degree program so that they may be successful in earning their degree from wherever they live and work.
-- Innovative developments are giving online learners access and benefits they can't find in the traditional classroom. Non-linear, multimedia technologies engage students from all learning styles.
-- Economic impact: AIU Online has grown rapidly since its inception in 2001 and has created hundreds of new jobs in the 8th Congressional District as well as employing faculty across the United States.
Nick Fluge, president of the Online Education Group at Career Education Corporation and COO of AIU Online, and Dr. Robin Throne, Senior Advisor and National Affairs for the Online Education Group will serve as primary hosts for this event.
"The power of the internet continues to transform learning opportunities for students with busy lifestyles. As a former history professor and one who watches my grandchildren utilize the internet every day of their lives, I know that the barriers to higher education can be overcome for many students through online opportunities such as at AIU Online. As an employer in my district, AIU Online continues to add hundreds of jobs to support the local economy as well as to offer employment opportunities to faculty who teach from wherever they may reside in the U.S. It is these combinations that are transforming the 21st Century employer model and provide lifelong learning opportunities for students and workers across the nation," said Congressman Phil Crane, (R-IL).
