When I Searched and google the internet I found out this Cousera course and fell in love with the name. It's now a long time I enrolled in a Mooc course online. In another post I will share about my love for Mooc courses, even though some are free, they are well designed to educate you just like a university would or even much more.

New Learning Call

New Learning Call

 

It is quite awhile I posted in this blog, wow, miss you blog. Congratulation to me, I have worked as a Program Advisor at UoPeople for some months now and it is real good working. Great to assist students at front ends and backends. What are the lessons learned in life of an online learner? There is something to learn everyday at work sphere and in the online study platform. It is actually different from one individual to another. What you are learning is different from what I am learning and that is what makes it comparable or better than the traditional classroom. What you gain from your online studies is what you demand and reach for, the extra study to know beyond what is taught. This would not be the duty of a course instructor, it is primarily my responsibility, because when I become a better person it is not my course instructor that gets the primary accolade, it is actually the student. So we need to look at the student community closely and ensure that as a student I am learning and actually growing. 

What a UoPeople Bsc Certificate Looks like

UoPeople BSc. Certificate

 

Is it possible for you to achieve this also, yes you can!!!

Thinking and dreaming about something is a good thing, but actually achieving it is the better thing. Every goal and achievement starts with visualization and imagination. What you can imagine, you can eventually have or receive. It is to this end, that I started this academic journey at UoPeople and I was able to eventually succeed at it. For all new students at UoPeople, note that your vision is to achieve your academic degree and this is very possible.

Once you have started a journey and you progressed to only half of the way, you would be certified to have made progress, however, the overarching success in making progress is achieving your goal. No constraints should stop anyone from achieving his goals whatever those goals are. There are donor communities today to assist people, there are programs for financial assistance, and there are helping hands around these days. When your vision consumes and drives you, there will be a way for you to eventually win.

"My UoPeople Story" by Doug (A Colleague)

My UoPeople Story

Online education at UoPeople is affordable, flexible and achievable, you can read more from the report from one of UoPeople students who got accepted into University and started fulfilling his academic dream. A dream can be fulfilled at UoPeople and a dream should be a load or burden, it can actually be fulfilled and UoPeople is that great helping hand you need. Read the testimony from Doug:

“Every now and then I’m asked to document my experience as a University of the People student. As I was writing it down this morning, I thought it might be helpful to post on this blog as well. My experience at the University of the People has been better than I ever could have imagined.

After graduating high school in 2003, I made two attempts to earn a degree. In both cases I was only able to complete a few semesters before having to drop out for personal reasons. I felt like a failure and to make things worse I had racked up nearly $20,000 in student loan debt. At that point in my life, I felt as though I would never be able to get a higher education and earn a degree that would open up new doors, personally and professionally.

In 2011 I read an article online about University of the People. UoPeople claimed to be the world’s first tuition-free online university. I was skeptical – a tuition-free college education sounded too good to be true. But the idea stuck with me and from time to time I would search the internet for any news or reviews about UoPeople. After seeing a few more articles about how UoPeople had partnered with reputable partners like Hewlett-Packard and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation I decided it was worth the $50 application fee to take a risk and apply for the first term in 2012. I was accepted shortly thereafter.”

UoPeople- Yammer. Follow UoPeople on Yammer and be more informed as much as you want

UoPeople Yammer Network: 

Yammer is a very interesting social platform, the pages are simple and very clean and light, it has very interesting components and it is colorful also. The Yammer/UoPeople platform is customized for UoPeople students, alumni and instructors. The management of UoPeople has a good usage of the Yammer network. The Yammer-UoPeople platform was an answer to a long awaited social networking and communication facilitation. It is a good way to socialize and keep up with colleagues at UoPeople, especially those colleagues that are in another Program of study or in a different course. 

UoPeople Yammer network has lots of features similar to that of facebook, Yammer has the ability to have followers and ability to follow other colleagues just as available in Twitter. Making friends is easy on Yammer because the components are easily accessed. The color theme used throughout the Yammer network is also very simple and very attractive, so that it compels one's engagement and participation.

It is an achievement for UoPeople, and there are still lots of things that are achievable for UoPeople students that are using the Yammer-UoPeople network. For example the career center in Yammer is a place where students find internship programs and get listing of available job opportunities, many students have been assisted through this means.

Below is a capture of Yammer platform:

Response from Prof Michael Kessler as regards my UPAA application May 2015

Prof. Michael Kessler as regards my UPAA application

 

A response to the application for the UPPA role in UoPeople:


Dear Kolawole,

Thank you for applying for the position of UPAA. I and Advisor Sarkees were impressed with your application and we would like to conduct a skype call with you this coming Sunday at 8:15 am Eastern Standard Time(New York) to discuss the particulars of the position with you.

Please let us know if you are available then. If you are not, please indicate a day and time that you would be available. A call morning time in the Eastern Time Zone would be preferable.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best,
Michael Kessler

This is just one of those things that UoPeople means, a collaborative culture of sharing. Students are encouraged to take leadership responsibility, for example students can opt to become student ambassador. This way they would be imbibing leadership culture and a sense of social impact. Succeeding is good, however, producing similar success in others is also beautiful. You too can become part of that story and not just an observer. The first step is to apply to become a UoPeople student at the UoPeople website.

UPAA in University of the People is acronym for: University Peer Assessment Advisor.

Another meeting time was later concluded on because of issues with Skype availability at my end. There are no end to the possibilities that serving UoPeople can bring, becoming an advisor is one of such opportunities. I like assisting other people find their bearing, and forge ahead in their endeavors. We have agreed on a voice teleconference on telephone, that is a more realistic arrangement. 

The University of the People is people focused and has a socialist side to their vision, mission and corporate agenda, this explains why there are so many well-meaning individuals supporting the UoPeople vision. It is a long term vision, it is a sustainable vision, it is a needed vision and it is developing vision. One of the present cruxes is the wide availability of MOOC (Massive open online courses), however, UoPeople excels above these in many ways.  President Shai Reshef placed exceptional value on UoPeople and mentioned that University of the People is not a MOOC but an online university.
