Career Colleges
The United States Department of Education requires that Career Colleges annually prove their educational quality while simultaneously demanding that they maintain a high level of profitability. Efficiency and outcomes have to be watched at all times to ensure an institution's longevity. Quopax understands this delicate balancing act that career colleges are required to perform on a daily basis. The Q-room is the perfect distance learning environmet to accomodate these strenuous regulatory demands.
The Q-room is very efficient in it's delivery. It costs less to educate a student through the Q-room than in the typical residential classroom. But this cost effectiveness never reduces the quality of instruction. Students recieve an equal or better education when they attend classes in the Q-room. The Q-room was originally designed with one overriding philosophy, If you can do it the classroom you need to be able to do it in the Q-room. An illustration of this principle can be viewed in this
Why synchronous distance learning is the only way to go for the career college sector:
By definition there are three truths that separate synchronous and asynchronous distance learning
One: In a synchronous environment if you need to ask a question you can get an immediate answer. Most people would agree that when you are in a "moment of learning" receiving an immediate answer is a rather important and a valued capability. In an asynchronous environment immediacy is impossible.
Two: Humans are social creatures. Quopax and most educators believe that the majority of people learn better in a live, instructor guided environment as compared to isolation. Without live interaction, which is the definition of asynchronous learning, most people are less motivated and tend to procrastinate.
Three: Asynchronous learning is self-study. It requires self-motivation and self-control. Synchronous learning demands that a student has to login at a specific time and participate live with his/her fellow classmates and instructor.
Regulatory demands placed on a career colleges are significant. High graduation and placement rates require a rigorous, higly interactive, and entertaining learning environment no matter where it takes place. Career college managment teams have to be confident that any distance learning environment that they use must produce equal to or greater outcomes in completions and placements than they currently attain in thier residential courses. Quopax is the distance learning environment that can meet those demands.
