Distance Learning

What exactly is distance learning? Pretty simple really. It is online education. Not sure why the term originated, but it is now used more and more often. Institutions such as Capella University offer many distance learning programs for those of use that just don't have the time to go to class in the traditional sense. We are all very busy these days and working online is the easiest way.

Sara Orem, PhD, an adjunct faculty member at Capella University has just recently co-authored a new book titled Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change.

Rather than focusing on individuals in limited or problem-oriented ways, Appreciative Coaching guides the reader through four stages – Discovery, Dream, Design and Destiny – that inspire them to an appreciative and empowering view of themselves and their future,” Orem says. “What we have presented is really a new application of appreciative inquiry.
