    It's a tough job to tackle Natural Healing Therapies in 12 lessons but the instructor did a remarkable job going into detail on many, if not all therapies! Fanatastic amount of information and knowledge gained!

    I enjoyed the course. I especially liked the classes on energy healing, meditation, spiritual healing. These are my main interests but I picked up good ideas from all of the lessons. Good all round introductory course.

    This is a great course ,I've Learned a lot.

    Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this and I learned alot too!

    This class was very well presented. Is there an advanced course available?

    I have become more interested in the field of natural medicine and this course has helped me decide to work towards a Holistic Health Practitioner License. Thanks so much!

    Thank you for the wonderful on-line class! The topics were great and the information so helpful! Thank you again!

    Excellent course! I will recommend it to friends.

    I really enjoyed the readings. I teach high school health and plan to utilize some information found here. Thank you.
    thank you very much for offering this course!! all the best...

    I did a lot of traveling during the run of this course - turned in some material late - but found that it wasn't too difficult to stay up and to learn even when in other locations and sometimes without a computer. Very valuable in my day to day life... reinforced a lot that I already knew and taught me a lot that I didn't know. Thank you for a well-constructed class. Simple, easy lessons that allowed me to retain a great deal of the information offered and to use the info. Mary Richardson

    This course gave me the basic introduction of Natural Health - it hit the highlights of the numerous forms of natural health and healing. I am now better prepared to take courses in different areas than I was before this course because of the "wide brush" of information the instructor gave us. Thank You!
    I learned so much from the lessons. I will use the information to help use the natural ways of healing.

  3. 10 Advantages of Online Learning

    1. Students share perspectives

    Online courses can provide students with discussion boards and chat functions that allow them to share their own perspectives. Students can view responses from others, and learn through exposure to different ideas. This benefits students because they can evaluate new opinions alongside their own, and develop a solid foundation for learning.

    2. Students experience a sense of equality

    Web-based learning tools give all students a reinforced sense of equality. Each student has the same opportunity to "speak up" without fear or embarrassment. Shy and anxious students feel more comfortable expressing their ideas via online posts; studies prove that online discussions provoke more direct communication between students.

    3. Instructors are more accessible

    Online learning also benefits students by providing an additional avenue for instructor contact. This is particularly helpful when a student's schedule conflicts with a teacher's or tutor's hours, or when a question arises at the spur of the moment. Additional online tools can provide one-on-one instruction that follows the student's schedule for just a fraction of the cost of an in-home tutor!

    4. Accommodations for different learning styles

    Every student has a unique learning style. Some students are visual learners and some learn better with a "hands-on" approach. Web-based learning environments often incorporate a variety of resources into a single course, allowing students to utilize materials according to their learning style.

    5. Provides opportunities for exploration

    Online learning provides an increased opportunity for student exploration and activities by incorporating related Web sites into daily lessons. When courses reference these types of Web sites, content reinforcement is provided as students can see how course material is utilized in "real world" situations.

    6. Encourages additional information rehearsal

    Additional benefits for students who learn better with a hands-on approach occur when students participate in online discussions since they are exposed to an extra period of information rehearsal. Typically, students rehearse information when they study for exams or complete assignments. However, they also rehearse information when forming thoughts into sentences and typing those thoughts into the computer. This results in reflection and articulation of content, as the very process of reporting and writing about what they have learned engages students in an active learning experience.

    7. Provides 24/7 accessibility to course materials

    Some students work best in the morning, some in the evening, and some throughout the day. Scheduling time for homework and projects can be difficult depending on each student's classes, outside activities, and personal responsibilities. Online learning eliminates the need to conduct lessons at a specific time and allows your child to work when it is convenient for her/him. Online tutoring is available 24/7 over the Internet, with unlimited online access from both PC and Mac computers. This provides a flexible, mobile educational solution for students.

    8. Continual access to materials

    When course content and activities are provided online, students no longer need to worry about accessing course materials in a traditional manner. Continual access to course documents ensures that students can obtain materials at any time, removing the opportunity for frustration, such as "The library was closed."

    9. Provides just-in-time methods to assess and evaluate student progress.

    Assessments are essential in education; results inform the parent whether teaching methods and course structures are successful. Assessments also determine if student progress is satisfactory. Online tutoring provides personalized assessments to determine exactly what your child knows, doesn't know, and is ready to learn next. The assessment results are displayed in a color-keyed pie chart, creating an individualized learning path for your child that introduces new concepts gradually, and at the precise moment that he or she is ready to successfully learn the topic.

    10. Added educational benefits

    Web-based testing features also have many other educational benefits. Practice exams and end-of-chapter reviews can be quickly analyzed to provide you with immediate results. Students can access these tests at any time, and since grading is computerized, students receive immediate feedback. This may also help students who suffer from test anxiety to relax and help to minimize embarrassment for those that do poorly
