Real Science Guide

Science education includes a real downside. It does not involve abundant real science and fails to create connections to all or any of the wild places on our planet wherever science happens. rather than learning concerning science, children ought to be learning a way to do science. we would like real analysis based mostly science education within the schoolroom, wherever children square measure excited concerning science, and have a good time whereas they work.

A Degree PATHe As Unique As You Are

Every student wants to hear "graduate earlier" and "save money". Two of the greatest challenges adult students face are time and money. To help reduce these barriers Champlain has developed PATHe (Personalized Access To Higher education). PATHe allows students to earn up to 90 credits toward a bachelor's degree through prior college learning and life experience; leaving potentially only ten upper-level courses (30 credits) to complete and earn their bachelor's degree. For student John Clingerman of D4 eDiscovery, the new PATHe program is already paying off. "With PATHe, I'll graduate six months earlier - which will also save me thousands of dollars. My

EHR: Benefit or Bust?

The best healthcare decisions require the best clinical information. Clearly, we have excellent computer technology. We have excellent clinicians. So why are the outcomes of EHR implementation so blurred ? Creating systems that can utilize data to produce information that results in the best clinical outcomes is a complex process, requiring deep understanding of not only the capabilities of the technology, but also of the requirements of the clinicians. So far, it has been difficult to align these related, yet distinct components of the HIT landscape to produce consistent, measurable results. We need HIT leaders to sort this out, and provide a clear vision for the future. Following are two excellent articles about why you should be working in Health IT, and why doctors are divided over the benefit of electronic health records.

Laugh, Smile, and Register...Maybe?

The summer heat can inspire a little wackiness at Champlain College, especially in the online division. As we brainstormed ways to reach students not yet registered for fall we felt like nothing was really standing out. There was nothing "new" to catch their attention in this steamy summer weather. Then the idea for a parody of Carly Rae Jepsen's song "Call Me Maybe" was born, and the creative juices started flowing. Enjoy the artistic stylings of some of our fun, creative staff as they bring you "Register, Maybe". Look out American Idol, there's a new show in town. Maybe. And don't forget to register. Definitely. If you have questions about our programs, or for more information about registering, or getting started with an application, contact us via email or 888-545-3459. Quick! Do not Delay! Register NOW, before we make another video!
