MBA Distance Learning - the way of the future

MBA Distance Learning - the way of the future

There once was a day when being a business-person meant simply working for a business - if you were good when you were there you moved up. Unfortunately, while this is still the same in principle, a lot has changed. Competition is fierce - more and more people are raised to be business-people - they study business and finance as undergrads and then go straight to an mba. It is difficult to compete with people like that if you aren’t in that situation. The good news is that in reality experience is key - your ability to actually successfully work in business is the key - the mba is merely an addition to this and a reflection of your expertise.

The problem that most people face when looking to do an MBA is the amount of work required - there is a lot. Most people simply don't think that they can deal with this level of work while holding down a full time job. However, this is not the case - you can do it, with a little dedication it could be the best thing you ever do.

The most important thing you can consider at this stage is which course is right for you - think about length, work load, certification (you need an accredited MBA). Think about your focus - management, finance, human resources, where do you want to go. Then take a look at an eLearning resource site such as the online Masters Degree programs at the eLearning Yellow Pages to see what courses are best for you - there are many out there, be sure you find the right one! Too many people don't search fully and end up with diploma-mills that teach nothing.

The next stage is to approach your work - remember that this MBA degree is good for them as well - they may help you with funding, study time, and any other preparations. The best option is to present them with a site such as the eLearning Yellow Pages along with a good presentation on which courses you want to do and why. Company backing is one of the major benefits of an online MBA program.

Good luck with your search - if you would like any more information on any of the above please visit the eLearning Yellow Pages!

A Career in the Paralegal Industry

A Career in the Paralegal Industry

Did ‘The Practice’ inspire you? Or did you find it all too dramatic? What do you think about ‘Boston Legal’? Or ‘Ed’ for that matter? A little too ‘soapy’ for you? Well, I can understand that. I can as well understand that you want to become a paralegal, TV shows notwithstanding. With the number of legal actions in our country, increasing manifold every year, law today is a lucrative career option. I would very much recommend that you go for a degree in legal studies. A good move would be to try out paralegal studies.

A paralegal’s certification can help you hone your communication skills with legal professionals, carry out legal research, maintain client confidentiality, and understand the various nuances of law. It is no wonder then that these certifications are so popular. So what exactly is it that is stopping you?

If you are among the vast number of people who are unable to pursue studies because of lack of time, there are a number of avenues open for you to get your certifications. Several online universities simultaneously award paralegal degrees and give you the flexibility of both working and studying on your own time. At the end of the day, you walk out with a paralegal’s degree that is no less effective than someone’s who has acquired one from a regular college.

Before you step into the world of law, it is important that you understand the premises within which you will operate once you become a certified paralegal. The Washington Online Learning Institute has a very useful degree curriculum for paralegals, in which the four-week introductory course can be taken on trial. It acts as the foundation for all their Paralegal certification courses, and gives you the chance to evaluate the online learning environment vis-à-vis your subject. You can decide on whether to continue, after you have taken this foundation course. Regular colleges won’t always give you such an opportunity.

They usually follow an online instructor led format for teaching and give you option of having your textbooks mailed to you. You may even get a discount if you enroll on time. So here’s a curriculum that’s worth giving a try.

Some of the online universities that offer degrees in paralegal studies include Kaplan University , Keiser University Online , and Florida Metropolitan University Online . You can pay a visit to all their websites to find out more about their curriculums.

There are a vast number of specializations for you to choose from, and surely, one of them will be the one for you.

Do you have what it takes to be a Game Animator?

Do you have what it takes to be a Game Animator?

Gaming is a big industry, and game animation is one of the most popular fields that attract high salaries from companies. Aside from the prestige of being able to work for the likes of Sierra, EA Games, and Activision, there is the fact that the creation of video games and computer games is such a fun thing to be involved in.

There are different types of game animation and many different systems used in the creation of games, but the skill sets required for any of these are the same. These skills include storytelling and technical animation.

Video game animators need to understand the techniques of storytelling to be able to come up with the storyboards that start off the animation process. These techniques, such as how a character reacts in a given situation, what motivates the character to action, how he operates in his physical world, all serve to make the story, and the game, a credible and cohesive piece.

The technical artistry of game animation, on the other hand, is reflected in the various computer graphic requirements that involve hand drawing, 2d and 3d compositions, and stop-motion animation, that will need some years of training to perfect. Aside from being able to draw well, one would need to know the laws of physics and human motion, as well as a bit of psychology. Essential aspects of 3d animation include creating the character's body type and physical poses, adding facial expressions to show emotions, creating gaming loops, and lighting the scenes the character takes part in.

The technical and creative skills no doubt make the learning curve a bit steep for game animation, but those with some good artistic and storytelling abilities would find this a very good and stable career prospect.

If you think you have the innate skills required, and would like to hone these to become a good game animator, then consider the convenience of online programs that offer a Bachelor’s degree in Animation. Westwood College has such a program. Find out more by visiting http://www.elearningyellowpages.com/OnlineDegrees/Gaming-226.html
