Press Release Body: Author and online education expert, Professor Fred DiUlus vision to bring online higher education to the world twelve years ago took a different turn than other online providers. By the end of the 20th Century, he had sowed the seeds of an academic revolution.
In 2000, DiUlus invented the Transparent Paradigm Technology (TPT). This virtual classroom platform grew up to become Global Academy Online, today's online university builder and one of the premier providers of private label curriculum and instruction for colleges and universities on four continents. The landscape of how schools may offer and deliver online education was changed forever.
The Academy's system design brings education institutions, regardless of their size, location, or endowment, an ability to dial up any one of the Academy's online, transparent, private-label degree programs and adopt them as their own. "The Academy", DiUlus says, "enables the smallest university to compete with the big boys for quality online students anywhere in the world." Dr. Larry Brown, the Academy's Dean of Faculty, also states that "Our faculty and curriculum will put a school in the game immediately giving small colleges a genuine, financially sound, choice for entering the competition for scholars worldwide."
LaFonda Oliver-Bowen, the VP of Communications offers that the patent pending system invented by DiUlus was built on the premise that online education was going to become the moving force in education in the 21st Century. "Every study that we have conducted in the past six years", says Oliver-Bowen, "demonstrates unequivocally that online education is here to stay and is considered as good as, or better than, the traditional classroom." She goes on to say, "The approval rating is staggering. Students who have experienced both the traditional classroom and online delivery prefer the online teaching almost four to one."
DiUlus writes in the 5th edition of his latest book on the 'Best Worst in Online Degree Programs' that he still finds administrators, even after a decade of incredible growth in online education, still don't get the significance of online education. "Perhaps" he says, "they are prejudiced by their own traditional ways and traditional faculty who don't get it, either." What seems to be the reaction by many schools is to attack the issue cosmetically. "You can get a pretty good idea of what a school thinks about how important online education is to them by the link location for it on their opening web pages."
Without hiring a single new faculty member or investing one dollar in development, a university, using the Academy's unique system has the ability to add educators and curriculum online in multiple academic fields. Professor DiUlus concludes, "We give them the precious time they need to grow up in Online Ed without losing their competitive edge."
Global Academy Online is headquartered in Washington DC with branch offices in the United Kingdom, West Africa, China, and Ecuador. XXXXX
