The Latest In Online Learning

Since its inception, online learning has completely changed the worldwide educational landscape. The accessibility of online learning has allowed millions of people throughout the world, who never thought it possible, to earn a degree and achieve the dream of continuing education. In fact, according to the Pajhwok Afghan News, hundreds of Afghan girls in war-ravaged Kandahar have crossed barriers forbidding females from attending college by continuing their education online. Some of the most popular online learning classes in the US, such as English, Computer Science, Project Management, Business Management and Journalism, are also the most popular among Afghan girls.

Many programs have even started offering bilingual programs for those in the US who do not speak English as their first language as well as individuals in foreign countries hoping to get their degree in the native language of the country they wish to work in.
