New Tech --- LMS will chew up the university system in the next decade

DISCLAIMER: I don't feel negatively about all of my courses, but there are enough bad apples to make this account ring true for many students if not all. source:  https://www.capterra.com/sem-compare/learning-management-system-software?headline=Learning%20Management%20Systems%20(LMS)%20Software&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=lms%20technology&gclid=CMjU5IWO1toCFYKCxQIdkZwF7g&gclsrc=ds LMS technology will most vastly effect the world out of all the learning tech solutions. Online learning is natural, easy, and convenient. Many companies are already using LMS to train their employees and enjoy, in particular, the ability of these systems to teach relevant information without exorbitant costs (like university is infamous for). Another benefit of the LMS platform is that there is not any required classes or extra classes thrown in with the courses people care about. Many, if not all, of the people who attend university are bothered by the ext...

United Breaks Geeetars

SO...people don't really like United United has a policy of allowing customers to pay for exactly what they want. Many companies include policies which are optional for United customers. Many United customers expect all companies to operate according to industry norms. United does not operate by industry norms. Basically everyone knows that they risk damage to their luggage when flying (this is why I prefer to travel with hard-case luggage (you know the kind with a plastic shell encompassing the cargo). The customers expect that should someone from United break their stuff, the company would correct that error with rectification or refunding. In this case the customer did not get insurance and so when their things were broken, the airline was not responsible. Of course it blew up in United's face as the video slander now has 18 million views and hundreds of thousands of likes. To avoid this, United could change policy or just make it obvious that you risk damage, and ...

alrighty, Go

I misrepresented that name intentionally so that everyone would get the idea, but without me getting a cease and desist email from that organization.... Right out of the gate: I am glad that OKG didn't post their video to Youtube because as silly as it is to call Facebook the underdog, they are just that when it comes to video consumption and I am happy to see their power challenged. If course Youtube will get less business now, but they have planned for that when they essentially raised their price of doing business. The changes will make Youtube more powerful than ever, and hopefully reduce useless videos because some will choose not to post unless they can get views. Obviously the travel company should have honored the contract, but I can't say I am not impressed that they got away with breaking that agreement. I, myself, am working towards a BS degree, and I can respect the struggle. perhaps, however, it was a mistake, and the band was just cutting them a break out o...

Miracle Matt POST 10

"The beauty of capitalism is that it can be as ugly as the human imagination can conjure." THIS POST IS FOR ALL THE HATERS WHO WANT MORE REGULATION "Give me one reason to stay here" -Tracy Chapman In regulated markets and bureaucratic organizations like government, university, or your restrictive parents in high school all activities are monitored by what is acceptable and what will "pass" For these reasons, the previously-mentioned organizations and many like them are constantly outputting a bad product that nobody wants. Very few millennials will spend as much money on anything as they do towards college. With all that funding, what are the results? Are they spectacular? Nah... We spend so much time learning that failing is bad, that we never really learn how to fail correctly. We teach that if you mess up an assignment, you have lost the grade, been shut down, or otherwise regulated out of opportunity.  The free market is a treasure trove of opp...
