10 Reasons Academia Isn’t Radical Anymore
1 / 0
http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2012/02/10-reasons-ac...
Most of the great breakthroughs in science, math, and philosophy haven’t been readily accepted by mainstream society, even though the scholars that presented these iconic ideas are lauded for their genius today. Academia, at many times in history, has been the refuge of those who are willing to think outside the box and come to conclusions about the world and our place in it that may be hard for people to stomach. Yet increasingly, this radical element of academia is falling by the wayside, leaving many wondering why academia just isn’t as edgy as it once was.While there are still some radical academics out there, they’re becoming increasingly few and far between. Mainstream media, funding issues, controls on academic freedom, and even the university structure itself all have a role to play in the decline of radical academia. Read on to learn more and why, for better or worse, academics of today are a much better-behaved group than those in the past.

3 / 0
http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2012/01/10-things-you...
Higher education seems to be at a crossroads these days, as the cost of college continues to shoot sky high and students are increasingly finding (and demanding) more flexible learning opportunities — like online universities — carefully tailored curriculum, and more. The college we know today is not likely to be the college that future students will know tomorrow, and we’re already seeing big signs of change in the works. While a lot of new features are likely to be added to the college experience, some will undoubtedly go by the wayside, including these ten almost fundamental elements of college that are slowly being replaced.

15 Facts to Share During Braille Literacy Month
1 / 0
http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2012/01/17/15-facts-share-brai...
Every January, the visually impaired and legally blind, their loved ones, and their advocates (many of which sit in one or more of these demographics) recognize Braille Literacy Month. As one can probably ascertain from the title, participants hope to stoke the dwindling use of the revolutionary reading system. Audio technology may have curbed Braille usage in the classroom and workplace, but that doesn’t dilute its significance or usefulness any, of course. Educating oneself and the rest of the populace about visual impairments, blindness, and the reality of Braille marks the best strategy for promoting its prolificacy.

Some teetotal for religious reasons, some for their health, and some just don’t care for the taste of alcohol. Whatever the reason, having such a stance can make for a tough four years at the wrong school.
