ACC Worldwide Learn: Bridging the Gap to Online Education
Founded by seasoned university professors Dr. Cindy Atchley and Dr. Leslie Blood, ACC Worldwide Learn emanates from their combined three-decade experience in online teaching and course development. Having developed and taught online courses across various universities both domestically and globally, they are deeply attuned to the unique challenges adult learners face while pursuing online academic degrees.
“Why ACC Worldwide Learn”
US News and World Report (2023) noted that in 2019, over 110 million people took online courses, and of those, 52% never looked at the course materials. Over a five-year period, the average dropout rate in a degree program was 40-60%.
A common misconception is that online courses are simpler than their in-class counterparts. Conversely, they often demand greater discipline and more substantial input. The flexibility of online learning does not imply reduced course rigors. Misguided expectations and unpreparedness can jeopardize a student's success.
Recognizing this challenge, Dr. Atchley and Dr. Blood identified a gap: the need for a comprehensive guide to navigate online academia. This insight led to the creation of "Mastering Online Academic Skills." Designed to acclimate potential online students to the virtual classroom's nuances, this course offers valuable tools and guidance on research techniques and essay composition and familiarizes students with APA and MLA formatting and much more. Tailored to suit various learning management platforms, institutions can employ this course to acquaint newcomers with the online academic realm.
